Lemme know what you guys think

 

I guess this is a final good bye letter. You’re starting your life at your new college, and I wish you all the success in the world. I also want you to know how proud of you I am.

I used to feel as though nothing in the world could ever come between us. And then I had that falling point in my life. I wish I could take everything I did to you back. I wish life was one big VCR, but it’s not. I ask myself if all the screaming, crying, fighting were worth it? Yeah, they were. When you outweigh the good and the bad, you realize it was all worth it in the end. Things happen for a reason. Because of you, I learned something no one has ever been able to teach me, the meaning of love. I am forever grateful for that, and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

I do still care about you, and it’s very hard to lose feelings that fast for someone you love. I just need time to myself to get over you. I want to be your friend, but this is very hard for me at this point. It feels so weird but at the same time so comfortable. When we sit in class and talk, it almost feels as if we’re dating again, and it confuses me to no end. You say one thing, but it seems like your actions say something completely different. I know it’s hard to make that transition, going from lovers to friends. It will happen in time, but right now, every time I see you I get those butterflies in my stomach.

But as I sit here writing this letter, I think back on all the good times we had. We had so much fun together, and I do not regret any of it. Do you remember that night during the first finals week we started dating and we stayed up all night? Or the nights at my house in Michigan when you stayed up all night and held me even when I fell asleep on the couch in the basement. Also, those camping trips when we stayed up till late hours outside by the fire watching the stars. And those amazing trips we took? God, we must have been to at least 18 different hotels. I spent some of the most incredible times of my life with you, and some of the happiest! As I sit here, I realize that those were the moments I would never take back or trade in for anything else in the world. I honestly would do anything in my power to get those moments back, but that will never happen. I know in time I will find a guy like you, I just have to wait until I find someone who puts those butterflies back in my stomach. Until then, I will grow as a person, and find out exactly who I am.

This process has already begun. I have become a much happier person. Alcohol was slowly destroying my life, and now I don’t want anything to do with it. It’s been two months since I touched my last beer, and I am very proud of myself for it. I want to thank you for helping me to realize I had a problem. The problem is gone, and now I am that sweet girl I used to be. I just wish I could prove to you who this new girl is. This is the girl you used to know when we first started dating, but a lot stronger. I am a girl who now appreciates life and believes in seeing things positively.

So I’m saying goodbye. Who knows if we’ll ever talk again, or ever see each other again. All I know is in my heart I want you to be happy and successful. I know you will be both of those things. You’re inspiration for life is something that I have always admired about you. You’re strength is also another thing I have looked up to, and you’re caring nature amazes me. You are a truly wonderful guy, and I am so privileged to have met you. Maybe in time our paths will cross again.

If you ever want to be with him again, don't send it. It's too emotional and slightly clingy and makes him seem as though he's a savior who's come into your life. However, if you never ever want him back, then go ahead.
