Hey There,
I know this letter may be awkward and uncomfortable to read, but I want you to know first and foremost that I want his happiness. He and I spent years together and they meant a lot to me. He has a significant place in my heart and I hope I in his, just in a different way then when we were dating. Three years of love and an amazing relationship, but we weren't meant to be. If you are the girl he is meant to be with, I can't wait to see what the future holds for you two. He was an amazing boyfriend, and I know he will make someone the happiest wife and mother alive one day. If you are lucky enough to have his heart, you have a rare treasure that will bless your life immensely.
He is full of love and compassion. He is full of kindness and generosity. Don't take any of this for granted. When he trusts and loves with his whole heart, you will feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Don't take the movie nights you spend in his arms for granted. Don't take for granted the stuffed animals and the jewelry he buys you. Don't take for granted his hugs that change your attitude in a matter of seconds. Don't take for granted the little things he does such as holding your hand in the car or telling you that you are beautiful and that he loves you at least five times a day. He means it and you should trust how special you are in his eyes. Don't take him for granted for one second, because as I learned everything can change in a matter of seconds. But don't let him get away with not opening your car door or holding your hand in public. Don't let him get away with not shaking your father's hand and giving your mother a hug everytime he sees them. Don't let him get away with not treating you like the princess you are, because sometimes you might need to be reminded to treat him like the prince he is.
Encourage him in everything he does. Encourage him in his passions and in his hard times. Encourage him when he failed a test and encourage him when he graduates. Encourage him to do whatever he wants to do. Encourage him to love the Lord and spend time in prayer everyday. Encourage him to pray with you daily and to trust in the will of our Father. Encourage him to be the best person he can be, as he will encourage you.
Travel with him. Take him to Italy to explore his heritage and to New York to see his family. Let him plan your dates, but not every single one of them. Let him get excited about what he loves, and you will fall in love with the look in his eyes. Let him get to know your family because they will fall in love with him. Bring him to family events and parade him around. Be proud of the person he is and the person he is becoming but always encourage him to be true to his roots. Encourage him to regularly call his mom, because even a momma's boy gets busy and caught up with his life. Listen to music and watch old Disney movies with him. He is more of a child at heart than anyone I've ever met, but he always knew how to make me smile during the difficult times. Let him drive you around town in his little blue truck with the crank windows. Let him blast the radio and sing to you with his country accent. Let him buy you flowers and play with your hair.
If you are now the person who can make him the happiest, calm him down when he's having anxiety attacks, and reassure him of your feelings when he overthinks everything, I am the happiest ex-girlfriend alive. When the day comes that he decides to move on and date another girl, I want her to love him with everything she has. I want him to be with a girl who appreciates his love for planes and for video games. I want him to be with a girl who will appreciate his kind soul and his respectful manner. I want him to be with a girl who loves him with her whole heart, because if he truly loves you, he will give you his whole heart.
