Letters To Morgan

Fresh Ink

Dear Morgan,

So, I'm admittedly a little embarrassed. I got so worked up over nothing. And don't worry, I didn't even last an hour not talking to him. I guess I never realized just how important he was to me. He taught me everything I know. From how to listen to how to love. Which reminds me, I rewrote the list. I finally figured it out. I spent so much time trying to figure out the relationships I shared with the people closest to me, that I forgot the first rule of love.

You can't love someone else if you don't love yourself.

Which is why, the very first name you see, in as little as three seconds, is mine. I realised the reason I was able to love the people that I hold so dearly, is because I'm able to love, respect, and honor myself. I'm able to love their faults, and accept their mistakes, because I know I'm not perfect and that I've made my own. I realized if I'm not able to love myself, that list becomes just wasted paper and ink. It's worth nothing. Everytime I said those three words, they lit on fire and burned to ashes before the ink even dried.

By the way, he's still on the list, just in second place. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure second place made him prouder than first.

                                                          Your friend,
                                                                  A First place lover
