Sincerely, The Heart That Wants To Heal

Letters Never Sent

By Mercedes ChavezPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

To my first love,

Let me start by saying how truly sorry I am

When we started, I could never have imagined that things would end the way they did

Though it ended the one way we both wished it never would

And for that, I am sorry

For any pain or damage, I caused you

I am eternally sorry

I had promised to never hurt you

But I should have never made a promise I couldn't keep

I promise it was never my intent

And there is no excuse for it

For any time, I made you feel that you were unworthy or less than you are

I am whole-heartedly sorry

You are an incredible person

You always were and I will always regret being the reason you ever felt less than that

Maybe they were right when they said we were moving too fast

Looking back now, we were both so broken when we got together

But I hope that someday, what we had, will make us ready for something beautiful in the future

I hope someday you read this and know that I will always cherish what we had

No matter the ending

We were something beautiful once

And made some of the most amazing memories together

Please, know that I wish you well

And I hope the future brings us both nothing but happiness

Thank you for being a part of my story

Sincerely, the heart that wants to heal
