A Letter to My Ex

Dear You,

There’s so many things running through my mind right now. One of which that I’m trying so hard to suppress is how much I hate you and would very much like to inflict pain on you. Kidding… sorta.

We both know that I left the relationship because I couldn’t give you something you needed for our relationship to work. Truth is, I have already given so much to you and to our relationship, that I felt like I was losing myself. But when you asked I change my belief to accommodate yours, I realized, there was really nothing there left in me that is truly me and mine.

Through our almost seven months together, I have changed so much. It was probably out of the desperation, the need to be with somebody, to be loved, and to be part of something. At that point, I didn’t know who I was anymore.

I wasn’t willing to change any more than I already had. So I made the choice to let go.

But we didn’t really let go, did we? We broke up, but we were there for each other. Or at least I was there for you. Through all the problems you and your family faced in the few months we were together, and even after we broke up, I would like to think I was there for you. I’ve helped you in so many ways, so many times. And even if you think I have been a bad girlfriend at times, believe me when I say I have never loved and cared for anybody else, as much as I did for you.

Now there’s another girl in your life. And I know you love her, and care about her more than you ever did for me. I can only hope she will love you and take care of you as well, if not better, as I did.

So this is good bye. I’m done taking care of you. I still love you, DI BA OBVIOUS?! But I am moving on now. There might be times when you’ll need me, and I might be too weak to resist the urge to help. But I won’t be here forever. I am your friend, as I hope you are my friend, but for my sanity’s sake, I’ll try to be distant.

Thank you for everything! I hope you continue to be the better person that you are now. Because we both know I made you a better person. Take care of yourself and of your family.

Ria

  4. It’s funny how beliefs could destroy things as beautiful as love.

    For me love is more important than belief (probably because I have yet to believe in something).
