To the boy that threw me away,

You came into my life when I wasn't looking for anything new. However, you saw something in me that you wanted, and you wanted to have me in your life. Even though I rejected you five times, you kept fighting. Eventually, I realized that you were my best friend and that I wanted you to play a larger role in my life. And so, I took a chance on you and became your girlfriend.

Since that day, we had countless ups and downs. We were there for each other when the world was crashing down. We saved each other. We fought off our inner demons. We found light amongst our darkest thoughts. From all the sacrifices and heartache, we grew strong together. We became unstoppable.

But somewhere along the way, things changed. College altered your mindset. Instead of appreciating what you had right in front of you, you sought other things. You lost sight of the people that love you and would do anything for you. You lost me.

When you love someone, you fight for them. Love never dies. Instead of telling me how you felt, you reeled me in and then cast me out to sea the next day. The emotional abuse took a toll on me. It got to the point where I had to walk away and surrender.

From this experience, I have learned things about myself, so I thank you. I learned that I'm stronger than I ever thought I was. I know that I never want to be treated like that again. I realized my worth and that I deserve to be treated as a priority and not as a second choice. The main lesson I learned was to choose people who chose me.

I hope that one day you will realize that what you did to me was wrong.

Sincerely,

The girl who would've done anything for you
