We may have been young, we may have been naïve. But I can promise you, what I felt was real. We once were so good for each other. Endless times of laughter, smiles and compliments. Our times together were things people wanted to hear about. From binge watching shows on Netflix, movie and dinner dates, to car rides and sing-alongs. Even the amount of times you tickled me as I begged you to stop while trying to contain my laughter. We were inseparable. We knew the connection was strong...

But why did it suddenly stop? Why did we start fighting over the littlest things? Why were our days filled with tears and yelling instead of smiles and laughter? When did we lose our touch? Did I say something wrong or did I not say enough? How could two people who were once so happy, fall a part so fast? Where did we go wrong? These questions may never be answered and we may never get back together...but there is something I want you to know.

You may have broken my heart, but you did not break my ability to love again. I forgive you. I may have moments of weakness where I look at old photos of us. I may lose some tears when I hear our song or watch your favorite movie. I might get quiet when I enter our favorite restaurant. There may be days where I think what might have been if only we kept trying. If only we took another chance. But...I will be OK and so will you.

Another thing I want you to know is; it was a pleasure getting my heart broken by you. You taught me how to share, how to be happy and how to love. You showed me what it was like to not be alone and to have someone care for you. You let me know I was beautiful no matter what anyone said. You made me feel important and for that I will forever be thankful.

We've both moved on. We are different people now. But our memories will remain and so will the lessons we've learned.

I will love again and so will you.
