To the girl(s) in his past,

I want to thank you for being a part of his life. You were once the only person in the world to him. I couldn’t be more thankful that he had you. You helped him get through the high school years. You cheered him on when he needed it most. You experience all those high school dances and proms. All those Friday night light games, and all those days/evenings spent watching him at the baseball field. I want to thank you for caring about him when he did not even know I existed. You were there for him. You have countless of memories with him. I would never ask for him to erase those memories or act like you do not exist. However, I ask that you respect me and respect our relationship enough to not sabotage it. I am so thankful for him, and the memories we already have. I would never ask for him to ignore you, or act like you do not exist. I simply do not even know you, or even really know much about you. I do know that we share one thing in common, we both care a lot about him. I ask that you respect me. This is something many people can’t seem to do nowadays. Whenever you get in a relationship you automatically feel the need to hate anyone in your person’s past life. However, I am not like that. It is a like a book and you can’t just start pulling and yanking chapters away from the book and pretending they didn’t exist. History is made to show and explain things, and how they have made an impact on the person standing before you. I accept his past, because I care about the person standing in front of me, therefore I must accept you. As we spend time together and he tells me stories and shares things from the past with me I know you were the person endeavoring life with him, and I’m thankful for the thought that someone was there for him, when I wasn’t able to be. I promise, I got him now and I will never let him feel alone.

Thank you for being there,

Xoxo, “the current one”
