Dear You

I'm sorry for everything, but it's just something I had to do

Dear You,

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry for everything I did to you...

I guess trying to be a perfect girlfriend didn't work out in the end. Who would have thought that giving my everything would only result in you giving nothing. I guess I should have gone out with my friends that one Friday night you so desperately wanted me to stay with you and watch a movie. I guess I should have focused on my future and what college I wanted to go to rather than spending my senior year trying to pick a college that would be close to you. If only I knew that all the tears and stress would turn out to be pointless.

I'm sorry for doing everything that I swore I would never do in a relationship...

I'll admit that I turned into a person that I didn't even recognize when I looked in the mirror. I turned into an insecure and smothering girlfriend. I guess that's what happens when one person isn't as devoted and faithful as the other person in a relationship. Because of you, I became everything I never wanted to be.

I'm sorry for finally being honest for once...

I know you're not used to this honesty that I finally had the courage to let surface again. I'm sorry that I couldn't have been this honest earlier. I was too blinded by what my brain wanted and I couldn't see what was right for me, and you for that matter. Without my honesty I would not be the person that I am today, and I'm sorry I couldn't show you that quality in me.

I'm sorry that I'm being selfish...

I know it is hard to believe that I would actually think about myself for once, and I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry that I want to get better and therefore taking control over my life again. I'm sorry for taking away the one quality that you just loved so much, my selflessness.

I'm sorry for being so selfless...

My selflessness is what got me into this sticky situation to begin with. If I had been more selfish from the start maybe I wouldn't be going through this hard time and maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have turned into the "awful" person that I am today.

So I'm sorry for all of the late night talks. I'm sorry for all of the forced lunch dates, and I'm so sorry for all of the times that I tried to move forward and be happy with you.

I'm so sorry...

With love,

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.
