An Apology To The Boy I Never Gave A Chance

I never thought it would be like this.

An Apology To The Boy I Never Gave A Chance
Marissa Miller

My biggest regret was believing that he was better for me than you were. I never understood why you still stuck by me even though I still continued to choose him over you. I still wonder after all this time how lucky I was to have someone like you in my life. You were so willing, kind, and always kept me on my toes, and for that I am grateful.

I never realized the grand prize was in front of me this entire time until It was too late. It wasn't that I was too good for you, but that you were too good for me. I was a mess you shouldn't have had to clean up. You were the right one and I wish I would have seen that sooner. I can only blame myself, and I'm so sorry for hurting you when I was hurting. After all the time you took bending over backwards for me, you didn't deserve this.

Having you as my rock and best friend meant more to me than you think. Although your feelings were more genuine and serious than mine, you managed to always stick by me in my time of need and reassured me that everything would be okay. Even though that boy continued to hurt me, you gave me purpose and a reason to keep trying and smiling even though it was still all about him.

You wiped my tears and threatened to put him in his place, but you never understood why I kept running back. To be honest, neither did I but I'm shocked you still supported me instead of bashing my stupid decisions. I think you should of put me in my place instead so I could open my eyes and see what was right for me. He continued to mess up over and over, but it didn't change my feelings for him, it only changed your feelings towards me.

You finally gave up on the thought of us after all this time and there is no on else to blame but myself. This silence I'm getting from you eats me alive, and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. I'm not the center of your world anymore, but I think this change is healthy for you. Sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to, but I'm glad you are happier now that you don't waste your days with the burden of my problems that I somehow made your problems as well.

That boy means nothing anymore, but I'm far too late to steal you away. You're far gone and I've never felt so alone. A world without you by my side is no world I enjoy living in because I wouldn't want to walk the rest of my journey with anyone else by my side. I made promises I couldn't keep and disappointed you as each day passed. While those days were passing, I found my mind wrapped around the thought of you.

I couldn't let you go but I needed you to know how I felt even though the answers I heard tore me apart. With that being said I'm sorry for not noticing you sooner but just know I truly am thankful that you were a big part of my life. I now admire your fight for me and the courage to deal with what I put you through after all this time. You deserve nothing but the best, and I'm sorry I couldn't give that to you. I truly believe this was life's intention in the first place.

You can only hold on to someone for so long, but once you finally let them go that's when they want you the most. It's the thought of being let go that people will soon realize how much they actually crave your overall existence and part in their life. Then you vanish and they never thought the feeling of you vanishing would change their world completely.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
