I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for teaching me that I am capable of being vulnerable and that I am able to tie myself down. I also want to thank you for showing me that I am lovable and for making me feel beautiful. You gave me so much happiness and brought so many smiles to my face during a period of my life where I didn’t know that was possible. You listened to me cry, rubbed my back until I fell asleep, and always tucked me in at night. At the time, I took everything for granted. I never should have, but I did. I put you through the ringer, but what you do not realize is, you managed to break my heart, piece by piece without ever even realizing it.

I will never regret our relationship or everything I gave to you. I truly believe you helped to shape me into a better person and teach me more lessons than I was ever going to be able to learn on my own. You taught me that love doesn’t always mean making someone smile, but sometimes it’s wiping tears from their eyes for them. You taught me that love doesn’t always come easy, but that it’s always worth it.

When I got my heart broken the first time, I always promised myself I would never let it happen again. I always said that I would never allow myself to be in the position to experience that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach a second time. However, the second I met you, I knew that promise I had in my heart was going to be broken.

You may have broken my heart, just like the first boy did, but it’s okay. Wanna know why? Because this time, I know I will be able to come back and fall in love with someone else all over again. I don’t think it will ever get easier, but at least I know that I will eventually be okay.

I wish you all the best and hope that you never forget all the wonderful times we had together or all happiness and smiles we experienced. They say you will always love your first love, but I think your second one is more special because they make you believe in that feeling all over again. I want to know that you will always hold a special piece of my heart and I hope I will always hold a piece of yours. You will forever be in the back of my mind and I’m sending nothing but prayers and good vibes your way.

Best Wishes,
Hales
