This is to the one who I thought was my forever.

We went through a lot together. You were there when I graduated high school, for my first day of college, and for all the ups and downs in between. A love like our's was never made to last. You never exactly knew how to love me, and that's okay. It was obvious that you tried desperately, and for that I am forever grateful. I sometimes compare our relationship to the rain. As Nikita Gill once said, "My dear, never forget that he was just a raindrop, but you are the entire storm." That is me, the entire storm. I have so many ups and downs and in betweens, and I know that was hard for you to handle. You never found an understanding for my many mood swings, but oh you tried. Some days I thought you could have loved me better, but then again you were barely trying, when I was giving it my all. It's hard when you're young and in love, you think things will last but they never do. I was crazy to ever believe we could beat those odds. Maybe I could have tried harder or loved you better, but I will never know. I'll never know after all this time why you couldn't love me the way I needed, or why you couldn't stick it out and handle me through the tough times. Maybe in the end I was just too great of a woman for you to ever love me the way I deserved.

I would like to thank you. Even though I cried for weeks and felt like my life was ending, I have come to realize that you just didn't know how to love me, and by you giving up on me, you have given me the opportunity to find a man who will know exactly how to love me and it will be more wonderful that our love ever was. I won't say what we had wasn't great, because it was. We had so many happy times and wonderful adventures, but finding someone who truly understands me and how to love me will be so much more.
