First off, I just want to say thank you. You really gave me a taste of what love truly is and you gave me a glimpse of how I should feel towards someone I love.

Love is a complicated thing. You showed me that. I always thought I’d spend my life with you, but clearly the gods have a different plan in mind for us. While my love for you hasn’t fully diminished, your love for me seems to have taken a completely different path. The game of "How many days in a row we can go seeing each other" turned into "How long can I go without seeing you and starting to care." While I thought about you every day, it seemed as though you had something else on the brain. My heart was giving itself to you, but your heart didn’t want to connect.

And while this may not have been your intention, that’s okay. Our hearts and our minds play games with each other. You may still love me, but the effort and romance seems to have been terminated. You no longer strive to make me the happiest girl in the world as you used to. You now strive to make your future the best for you, and I am beyond proud. And while I wish I could be a part of that future, I need someone who can work to make their future better, as well as mine.

It’s now my turn to make my own future better. I have to focus on what makes me happy. And, although for a long time you did, that point in time has ended.

I love you, and there will always be a place in my heart for you. I really did think we would spend the rest of our lives together, but I have to put my happiness before my love.

Maybe our paths will cross again one day and maybe we will catch up right where we left off and realize we are supposed to be together forever and a day. Or maybe we'll realize that we were just too caught up in finding ourselves that we didn’t see we were the one for each other. Maybe one day. Maybe not at all.

I will always wish for the best for you. You gave me your all for so long and made me feel the happiest I’ve ever been. I hope that someone can make you feel like you made me feel. And maybe I made you feel that way for a while, but for now, I’ll have to say see you later. I love you forever and a day. Thank you for showing me what love is.
