Every now and again we meet someone who completely sweeps us off our feet and makes us feel as if we are flying. Any person we fall madly in love with becomes a part of all of our hopes and dreams and slowly we start things off with "we" instead of just "I." This person becomes a part of you and it starts to seem almost impossible to imagine your life without them. When this person betrays your trust it feels almost as you're plummeting face first from the flight that you swore would never end. Letting go is hard, but eventually you have to move on from heartbreak and this is my goodbye letter to the relationship I thought would never end...

Dear you,

We had a really good run. We shared so many memories that I will always cherish and never forget. Remember the time we first met? It's hard to even believe that we connected so fast and immediately became infatuated with one another.

I remember how you looked at me from across the fire with that boyish grin that you always seemed to wear. I remember putting my number in your phone for the first time and having our love blossom from there. It's crazy to think we kept in touch for two whole months while you went back to college as we grew so fond of each other.

I remember the feeling of the butterflies that made their way to my stomach whenever my phone would light up with your name. I remember telling my friends all about the little things I was starting to fall in love with day by day. I remember the day you officially asked me to be yours and the cute little Facebook message that followed as soon as you made your way home from my house.

I never dreamt I would find anyone as perfect as you. You seemed as though you were made specially for me. I remember when I had to go away for college and the strain that put on our relationship, yet for two whole years we were able to push through all the bad times. I remember as things started to turn sour, but I was blinded by my own feelings for you that I couldn't even see the abuse I was going through. I remember the times when you would get mad about anything I would post on Instagram that didn't include you in it. I remember all the hateful words you said to me because you thought I was "sucking" all your money away. Remember when you told me that I "didn't deserve anything from you and that I was the most selfish person in the world?" Remember when you told me anorexia wasn't real and I should just get over it an "eat a steak?" Well, I do. I remember every last hurtful thing you said to me even though you probably don't remember half of them.

I even remember the exact moment that I found out you had been cheating on me throughout the entirety of our "loyal" relationship. I can't even begin to explain the hurt I felt, but that's why I am writing this today. I don't know if you'll ever see this, but if you do I want you to know I forgive you.

I am saying goodbye to what we had and saying hello to the new experiences that await me. I am saying goodbye to the things I started to accept as a normal relationship and saying hello to being treated like an actual human being. We were young and in love, but sometimes love just isn't enough. I wish you all the best in your life and I really hope you're doing well. I am becoming more me everyday and I thank you for being a lesson in my life. You have shown me love as well as heartbreak and it has slowly molded me into the person I am today. I will always love you, but just not in the way I did the first time we said it to one another. I have a whole different view on love now and I will forever be cautious with who I give my heart up to next. Until then I will learn to love myself because my heart is just not ready to love another's quite yet. I'm glad you have found happiness with someone else and I wish you both the absolute best.

Goodbye you,

Forever and always, the girl whose trust you betrayed.
