To the boy who didn't care enough,
This is not an apology for ending things with you, and it certainly isn't my way of telling you I want you back. This is just me trying to explain to you what went wrong so you don't do it again. No girl deserves to go through what I did with you. No girl deserves to care so much for someone, and have it not returned.
Notice the use of the word boy, because my dear you are not yet a man. A man knows how to treat a woman well and care for her, which is something that you still lack. He knows how to balance time with her and time with his friends. He knows that his problems should not always be put first. She is a human and deserves to be comforted and heard by him just as much. I was so tired of listening to you, and your problems, and how you felt but having to keep the issues in my life, the day-to-day worries and pain, inside because I knew you wouldn't care enough to hear it. You wouldn't care enough to comfort me when I needed you, you were just too wrapped up in yourself. Looking back, I should have known then that we weren't right for each other, but I was too naive to see through you. I was too naive to see that you would never take me or my problems seriously.
Those times when you didn't text me back, I promise you I wasn't waiting by the phone for you. It was just another time for me to realize that you didn't care enough about me. You only texted me back when things were convenient for you, not caring about how I felt. So I moved on. I was out living my life like I deserve. I was meeting new people and going to new places, and during these times you were the last thing on my mind. But of course the minute that you needed me I came running back. Oops, I guess that was my mistake.
I guess not all of the things were negative. Being with you taught me a lot about myself. It taught me that I am much stronger than I once thought. Not too long ago, I leaned on everyone for everything. After you constantly leaning on me, and me realizing that I was strong enough to carry the both of us, I realized that I didn't need anyone to lean on anymore. So that meant that I certainly didn't need you. I didn't need someone who was going to drag me down mentally and physically. In the end, I only needed me. It was you that brought me to this lesson, and for that I can never thank you enough.
So listen boy, there are some things I think you should work on before you meet a girl, in order to not hurt her too. Let what we had be an example of what not to do. Please treat her the way she deserves to be treated. Remember that she is a human and deserves to be treated with the utmost respect. Be a man and treat her like you never want to lose her because in the end I'm sure you don't.
Let everything we have been through be a lesson. A woman isn't going to wait for you to grow up. If she feels like she is putting more work into it than she is getting out of it, she will leave you behind. Never think that you can't lose her and can't be hurt, because in the end you can. No matter how little you thought you cared.
Sincerely,
The girl who cared too much
