Madi,
It’s been hard coming to terms with this. Despite the fact I saw our ups and downs coming, when the lowest lows would hit, I was always as devastated as I am now in fear of losing such a wonderful person. Every time we needed a break or even had a bad day, it pained me to see someone I care about so upset and hurt. The one thing that seemed to make us so strong and different from other relationships was our resiliency and ability to bounce back. As much as I’d love to see us try again and recover, I know I’m no longer in a position to ask that of you, and I accept that.
You made the transition from high school to college so much easier and you still brought out the child in me, even though I knew I had to grow up. You brought out the best in me and truly made one of the most difficult years of my life utterly blissful; something I will always be grateful for.
I’m not writing to back you back and to show how badly I want to make things work again (although I would really, really love to do that), but instead I’m writing to let you know I didn’t take the moments we shared together for granted, and that I will always have open arms in hopes of creating new memories in the future.
Regardless of how this letter is received (burned, eaten, ripped in half, framed and placed above the fireplace mantle), I know that you will do whatever is right for you, because you deserve only the best and should be with only the best.
I hope I can hear back, and all the best-
Matt
