Dear Ex,

How long has it been?

By Unwana Published 6 years ago 2 min read

I am writing this letter to you as a way of expressing my self.

First and foremost, I am done dwelling on the past and crying myself to bed.

I am done drinking; still, I can't feel my soul. I am done regretting the things that happened.

I am done feeling like I was never worth your love. I am done thinking I was the problem.

I am done listening to these petty rap shit just so I could feel good. I am done drowning in this nightmare.

I am finally ready to move on and let go of the memories of you.

But before I do move on, I want to say thank you.

Thank you for loving me, even if it was for a short period.

Thank you for not being there for me when I needed you the most

Thank you for protecting and caring for me, the best way you could

Thank you for helping me to see through you, when I least expected it

Thank you for trusting me with your heart

Thank you for the letters and flowers

Thank you for the gifts as well

Thank you for introducing me to good friends and good music!

Thank you for walking out when you did

Honestly, it was the coolest thing you ever did!!!

Although it did hurt for a while,

I wish you nothing but the best!!

And I hope you are coming to terms with what happened,

I hope you are happier and better now!

I hope that your dreams are still your priorities

I hope you find the time to forgive yourself as I've forgiven you,

I did, in fact, pray last night for your happiness and love,

I did, in fact, pray that Karma wouldn't be too harsh on you!!!

I don't blame you for your mistakes

I don't blame you for the late-night bruises on my fists

I don't blame you for the wet pillows and mood swings

I don't blame you for the bad habits; I did pick-up after the break up as coping mechanisms

I don't at all

If anything, I wish you happiness and love

And I pray that the next girl that comes along won't be heartbroken nor left behind!!

And I pray that we never cross path again

On that note,

I say thanks once again for the past and for preparing me for the next adventure!!!

I appreciate all the smiles, tears, laughs, friends, adventures, and memories that you brought into my life.

Yours sincerely,

The girl from your past
