I’m really hesitant about writing this post. I don’t know what sort of backlash this will cause but if I can’t get it out here then where can I get it out?
I had someone in my life .. who meant the world to me when we were together. There wasn’t a day that went by after her that I probably didn’t think of her. I’m not saying this because of something that happened recently but this is the truth. As I look back at all my failed relationships since her I notice i was trying to replace her. In every aspect. She is the first person I truly loved with all of my heart and never once did anything wrong to hurt her. Since I have fucked up every relationship. I will take the credit for it .. as much as I would blame it on others or a certain situation .. it was me. It takes a lot now knowing I fucked up everything since then .. all because of this.
People in my past will be upset that I’m coming out and saying that but that is the truth and if they read this at least know the blame isn’t yours .. it’s mine to own up to. Not to cheapen any of my other relationships they all were amazing and out of them I learned something different about myself with every failed relationship.
There were those days where I would think .. what if .. there was a second chance at our relationship. Growing and Maturing I have realized that things between me and her could of worked out given the circumstances. I should of never pressured her if thats what would of made things work. I mean shit I used to drive 2 hours to see her, then drive two hours home because I wasn’t allowed to sleep at her house. I would do it because I loved you so much and wanted to see your beautiful face. I miss your giggles .. all your tendencies .. the inside jokes we had that we would crack up over which others would find stupid. Why couldn’t your mother just like me .. I remember all the times you would try to convince yourself and I that she really did like me but we knew deep down inside it was the latter. We still kept on going strong, regardless of the obsticals. We had love .. LOVE I never knew or had before.
All those times we had together where we would drive around and share those looks at each other in the car ride. Smile and laugh .. trade “i love you’s” there was nothing in the world I wouldn’t of done for you. You showed me what it was like to have fun with someone you love and lose yourself in moments with each other. Those kisses … hugs … gazes … I miss those to this day. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give to have that back but now that will never happen. Someone else owns all those. That is what has just killed me inside.
I knew deep down inside but until now it has come out that a part of my heart was still with you to this day .. a huge chunk of it .. or all of it. For all the girls who would call me cold hearted since then were wrong, I never had my heart .. it was never in my chest .. it was in your hands never returned. Quite honestly I was never upset you still had it. I was always trying to play a trick on my mind that I was over you. That is what people who can’t come to grips with reality do, they try to slide something temporary over something that was forever permanent.
Now I sit here in pieces .. of my former self. Your now going to be another mans soon to be wife .. not mine like we used to plan. What do I do from here? How do I assemble the pieces of me that used to be. I don’t even know how to be my old self anymore. What have I been doing to myself all this time? This is all not making sense. Where do I go from here?
There are so many things I wish I could say to you now but I can’t .. I wont’. I just have to say them to myself and that is what makes all this hurt so much. I know it wouldn’t mean much to you now since you replaced me a while ago but I want to put out there that I never replaced you. It’s to late to apologize.
I really wish i could just forget the years we had together but i won’t and will never. I’m just going to have to suck it up and move on .. how long will it take .. way to long but I have to if I will ever give someone else the chance to get into my heart.
There is clarity now .. but not the kind I want. Now I MUST move on and I’m afraid. I’m hurting so much if its been two plus years since you were in my life and I still am hurting I probably have a few more years until I can love someone else again. When others said I didn’t know what love was they were wrong “we had love”.
My last words to you .. I love you and wish you the best in your life with someone else. That is quite possibly the hardest thing I have had to type in my life. Took me 20 minutes just to write that line. Thank God for memories because I will always be able to playback in my head the times we had together where I was a complete person. As I sit here crying there isn’t much more I can say that I haven’t said prior. Its hard to let go but my hand has now slipped off of the grasp I have been holding onto for years, I must fall to only pick my self back up.
To all I have hurt I genuinely am sorry, I seek forgiveness for letting me into your hearts only to not fully be yours. I am sorry for my actions and lack there of. All I can say is when you do find that person you truly love don’t ever let go, learn from MY mistake. Never let go, squeeze it .. embrace it .. run with it .. give everything .. leave nothing. Love is the greatest feeling in the world .. the only emotion that can be with you day in and day out of everything that you do. I lost my love. Don’t lose yours … please don’t lose the ones you love.
