Dear ____,
You will never be truly happy until you stop living your life for other people instead of yourself. I hope one day you realise what you lost, then maybe you can feel a fraction of the hurt you caused me when you broke my heart.
Love, me.
P.S. Your “fortune telling” skills are well and truly rubbish.
Tyler,
You can’t keep doing this. I want to forget you. I’ve given you too many chances. I’ve learned to trust you too many times over and over. We have never “worked out”. I’m not sure why I still think we would. You have offered me too many words of flattery; just enough to make me keep hanging on. I’m done. You’re not good for me. I’m not good for you. I have to stop hearing the “when we get married”, “in ten years…”, “our children will be”: those words of a future; they never will be reality. So stop trying to make things right. We all know you lied. I know you never cared like you said you did. I’m finally realizing that everything you told me was a lie. I’ve looked so stupid for forgiving you so many times. It’s time I move on. Goodbye,
Lauren
Dear Upper Malboro,
Where did you go? You never said goodbye. Why? Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t have feelings for me? Why couldn’t you just be honest and tell me that you didn’t care? You just left and now 18 years later I still wonder how you felt about me; It’s embarrassing. Couldn’t you just tell me the truth, so I would know that it was all in my head and I could forget about you? Please help me forget.
From, Springfield
Dearest, darling, you know who you are,
I’m so glad I never slept with you. Today you told me that the next girl you were involved with was pregnant with your child. I will never regret not sleeping with you ever again. I’m sorry things with her didn’t work out differently, and I’m sorry she lost the baby, and for what it’s worth, even though you weren’t ready, I think you’d make a great dad someday. I will always remember our time fondly, even if we had our terrible moments. I’m glad you’re finally coming around. I’ve missed you, and hope that we can at least be friends again.
Forever yours,
You know who I am
Dear Ohio,
I still miss you. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. I wonder how you’ve been. I know that you have a baby now and you’re probably happy, but that doesn’t change how I feel about you. I’ve tried looking looking for you on the internet, but all of the searching has failed. Yesterday I thought about you and cried, it’s nothing new. And if somehow you’re reading this, which you probably never will. Know that you were the first person I ever loved and I would love to hear from you again.
Love always,
West Virginia
Rebecca,
It’s going to be hard, days at a time when we can’t speak, times we both could do without the jealousy and heartache. But when the day comes, we shall be happy together. I can’t wait to hold you in my arms again, to feel you, your warm skin, your soft lips, your smell, your presence in my life. I can’t wait to look into your eyes and see your soul once more. Until that day comes, I shall hold you in my heart and wait, for you are my love, you complete me…entire.
I will always love you,
Joseph
Dear Jason, I would like some closure. In the back of my mind somewhere, you still exist and you won’t go away. Sometimes out of no where, you enter my dreams and you smile at me and for a moment it seems real, but then I wake up. I always wake up. Why did you leave without saying good bye? Was it because you really didn’t care about me? Was it because you could tell I had fallen in love with you and you wanted no part of that? I just want to know. Though I wish you loved me, as much as it would hurt, I would rather know I was nothing to you, because then I could finally let go. But then again, maybe my heart never will. Either way, I wish I knew, that way you would just be a dream, rather than a possibility. As always, Your “Silly” Girl
Dear Soldier,
Every time “Bless the Broken Road” comes on the radio, I can only think of you. We were so young. Eigth grade is too young to know if you should spend your life with someone. I was so stupid. I had no idea what I had when I had it. Then, you’d come home on holidays. We’d see each other, and I was still so scared to let you in. You proposed in my car, said we should get married. I was 18 and still thought I was too young. Again, I was an idiot. You joined the army. You’re stationed so far away. You’re married now. I think you have a kid. The only thing I have of you is a box with paraphenalia from the 8th grade dance. I can’t find you anymore except for in that box and every time that Rascal Flatts song comes on the radio. I cling to those three minutes and wish for a miracle. I hope I get the chance to finally say yes to you one day. You were everything then that I want now. I regret my ignorance, and I’m sorry I said no. I just wish there was a way to find you again.
Forever,
Your idiot
Dear Love,
I don’t know where to even start. There are so many things that I need to say… I am having such a very hard time letting go and saying good bye to whatever it was, that we had. I miss you constantly. Moving on is so hard, in the back of mind I still know that you’re the one I was meant to be with….I have never been so sure of anything; this feeling haunts me every single day. Sometimes I wonder why you even came into my life; I feel as though it was a cruel joke to find you, fall so deeply in love and then to find out that we’d never have a real relationship. I can honestly say that I don’t regret any of it…I just wish things would have ended up differently.
Do you remember when we went to see that stupid Seth Rogan movie? I remember being so agrivated by your choices in movies..but once we got settled in, it ended up being quite funny. I remember watching you laugh, as I laughed. You caught me looking; and you grabbed my hand and held it tight. I can not explain what happened at that very second; but a feeling came over me that I have never known…And I just knew; I was in love with you, and I never wanted another to replace your hand. I was so scared…terrified that you would hburt me. But from that moment there was nothign I could do…I had completely lost control and I was so in love with you; I was going to do whatever it took to make you happy; I knew I wanted to share my life with you. There were so many times that I’d be having such a rough day and then you would call me…and for the first time all day I’d have a smile on my face. You have brought me more joy than you could ever know…What gets me the most is that we were never really together…the would have beens, could have beens, should have beens play over and over in my head and sometimes I feel like my life is pointless without you. I want you to know that if I had to choose between being with you or having you be with someone else and be truly happy; I would readily choose for you to be with someone else, if that’s what you wanted..In the back of my mind I always felt like you chose her because that’s what your parents wanted, that’s what your friend’s would think was more suitable; and I really can not shake that feeling. I always felt like there was just something holding you back from doing what you really wanted…I know that you know how much I love you…Weren’t we worth a shot? I guess not. I am ending this letter in just saying that even if I never find someone I will always cherish our time together…I will never forget you. Until that day I die you will always be the love of my life. I love you more than words could ever sa y…
