Dear Chase,

I fell in love with you when I was 20 year old college girl and you were a 17 year old high school boy. The strange combination seemed to be destined to be short lived. However, I still had 13 months of wonderful smiles, love, sweetness, and bitterness with you. The day out relationship ended was painful but predictable.

Sometimes I cry in the shower thinking about out lost love. The tears are masked with water pouring out of the shower. My chest burns and I cannot breath. We were each other’s everything but no we are no longer in contact. But I know this pain is temporary and I will be fine. I am strong, and I will move on without you. Deep down inside I had always known that we were not meant for each other. Deep down inside I had always wished our story a happy ending. Now, I have moved on. The pain hurts still but it does not linger as long anymore. Time has its way to heal all broken hearts. But I want to let you know that the 21-year-old me will always love the 17-year-old you.

Best.
