To my ex of 8 years ago

You set an example for what a true love should not be.

You stole a kiss from me and pretended to love me , when you wanted anything but.

You were interested in any other woman but me at the time. I was young and 18. Willing to trust and willing to give of my heart and body. You were the stranger that made fun and games of my feelings. You never said sorry when you left me in the position, helpless and alone. Crying by the phone. When you told me it was over between us. You kissed someone else. I should have known better. I should have realized you were no good from the very start. But thank you in the end, because now I found a real man and my first real boyfriend. Someone you never were to me. I realize that from knowing and trying to be with you, someone who only wanted to use me, I have experienced something that has taught me much.

My new boyfriend is loving and faithful all the time. He would never hurt me or flirt in front of me, under my nose as you once did to me. He would never talk about how he did not love me. In fact, he loves me everyday and i never once look back wishing you could see me the way i let you see me back then.

i trust again and love again. i show affection because i choose to not because i am requested to. Everything with my current boyfriend is wonderful, I thank God above for him.

You could never be what he is to me, and he is someone I hope to marry someday.

This letter is for my heart’s sake. I have decided that my boyfriend deserves everything and the best of me.

I love life now. Goodbye to the past.
