Javabear Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Maybe I wasn't perfect. Maybe I could have called less, listened more, let you walk away. Maybe I cried one too many times. But I loved you. I loved you with every cell in my body and I know you loved me too. But things got tough and you were tempted by someone else and you gave up. Maybe it's because we're young. Maybe it's because you're dumb. Maybe it's because this had to happen. I'm sure I wasn't always the best girlfriend. In fact, I know I messed up a hundred different ways... but all my mistakes were out of love, dear. I'm not perfect, but when you needed cereal in the middle of the night, I took you to the grocery store. When you were fighting with your parents I listened to your frustrations. When you doubted yourself, when you were afraid, when you missed me... I was there. I've always been there. Sometimes I pushed too hard. Sometimes I asked too much. Sometimes I didn't know when enough was enough. But no matter what you say, no matter what you do, I rest easy knowing that I was good to you, And someday you'll see that too. 4

Never forget how you felt when you wrote that. 2
Sugarkane Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Don't feel bad, I'm sure your ex wasnt completely perfect either.
SlyMan320 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 That was totally one of the most heartfelt things ive read in a long time. Knowing that you tried your best is a major step that people don't recognize when they cope. Sew those beautiful memories together into a blanket that can keep you warm for years to come.
youngnlove89 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 This is what it looks like when your heart breaks. Absolutely beautiful. I love this and I am keeping it, if you don't mind That's the best way to look at things, knowing that you did what you could to make it work, you treated that person the best way you could, that's all that matters. thank you for this. 2
jcd07 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I'm crying right now. I hope you'll allow me to adapt this and keep it to myself, since it's the most beautiful and heartfelt thing I have EVER read.
