To The Ex It May Concern:
Dedicated to all the things left unsaid.
To put it simply, I know I broke your heart. I'm sorry. Hopefully you're over it by now. To be honest I never imagined that things would turn out the way they did. I never meant to hurt you.
Emotions are one thing that cannot be helped in this world, they can come and go just as soon as they appear. It is a curious thing, love. However I do not believe that is what was between us. There really was no we, no us. Was there any strong connection, or did we just want each other simply for having someone else? I think the latter. There ended up being someone else that I liked more, that I felt I had the strong connection with. The emotions were immense, confusing, and I was torn for a while. What was I to do? I didn't want to hurt you. I ended things between us so there would be no cheating. I didn't want to drag things on when they would only hurt more.
Was I really the bad guy here? I did what needed to be done. I knew I was going to hurt you, that things would be awkward. I think that there is something that we both learned from our relationship, even with its rough ending; what love really is. Love is one of the best feelings in the world, but it is not what we had. I hope that you do find that strong connection, that love for yourself. Find someone that deserves you.
