To The Girl Who Had Him First,
It is because of you that I am happy. It is because of you that I can wake up every morning knowing that I am valued and cherished by someone who truly cares about me. It is because of you that I am finally satisfied.
You lost a real catch. I am not sure how you didn’t realize what you had when you had it, but I sure am glad that you messed it up. I appreciate all of your little mistakes that taught him lessons in life and in love.
Thank you for letting him go. Thank you for breaking his heart and for teaching him that there are better things out there. I used to envy you because you came along before me and at some point, you made him happy. Now, I am so grateful for you because you’re the reason that he has allowed me to become a big part of his life. I have realized that all people have a past. I also acknowledge that his past doesn’t have to haunt us. I have had to learn a few things the hard way, too, and I know he empathizes with me because of that. He is an amazing individual and I know that he does everything he can to make me happy. I am so sorry that you missed out on all the things I am allowed to experience with him. I don’t want him for fun or for adventure like you did. I want him for commitment and dedication.
Now, you have someone new and I am lucky enough to have him. Sometimes I wonder if you ever miss him, but it doesn’t matter. I know I don’t have to.
So thank you for bringing him to me. Thank you for being a part of the broken and overgrown path that led him my way. You are the reason I am the happiest I have ever been. He is important to me and that makes you important to me, too.
With Gratitude,
The Real Winner
