Dear You,

Relief

Dear You,

It's been a while and I've made progress. We visited the a national park for geography class, you're in that class too. We were assigned in the same hiking group, but I knew that I got a hold of myself. I was so torn about how we broke up, I forgot how I fell in love with you in the first place. It's always been easy for us to get along. Just because we weren't together didn't mean we couldn't be friends. We spent most of our time together out hiking. We talked about all types of things. We talked about your girlfriend the most. At first it sort of hurt when you brought her up, but I loved watching you talk about her. Every single time you told a story about her your eyes would light up with joy. I wonder if you've ever looked like this when talking about me to a friend back when we were together. I knew deep down that I loved him and I accepted that. I finally accepted that. Sometimes, you can never un love someone. They'll always have a little spot in your heart. One day you'll accept that and that day would be a great day. That weekend was the greatest weekend I've had in a long while. For once I wasn't asking myself questions. I actually enjoyed taking to you and it made me happy. One night, I had the courage to ask what I've wanted to ask for quite some time. "Why did you break up with me?" I mustered up a whole lot of courage to ask that question, but I didn't care. "You scared me. You had so much love in you. I knew that I wasn't the right person for you. We deserved so much better than to stay with each other." I've finally heard the answer and relief washes over my whole body. A huge weight has been lifted, and I'm very thankful for it. I lost someone that was close to my heart, but they made me stronger emotionally and physically and I regret nothing. Thank you for giving me a wonderful adventure I don't think I'll ever forget you.

Your Friend,

Me
