Dear Kayleigh,

It’ll probably take a long time to forgive you for what you did to me, although I understand it had to happen. I’m sorry about all the times I hurt you, upset you and made you sad. I’m sorry for all the times you had done thoughtful things and I just brushed it off and never returned the favour.

I think about some of the memories we shared and I really hope you do to, despite everything. I still find parts of you in my everyday life, though It does not make me sad. Instead it makes me smile. You were my first girlfriend and we’ve both moved on now but I’ll  never forget you. You shaped who I am today and you’ll continue to impact me for the rest of my life, just as everyone I love will continue to do.

I’m aware that I didn’t appreciate you fully, I meant the world to you at one point but I was too blind to realise that. I guess we just weren’t meant to be together, at the end we were just two different people who barely knew each other.

There’s so much  more I want to say to you, and maybe I’ll actually tell you one day. But for now all I want to say is this:

I’m truly sorry for everything, have a good life. I hope you get everything you deserve.

Yours sincerely, Josh S.
