I'm Sorry That I Don't Love You The Way That I Should

I can't seem to figure out how to love you right.

I'm Sorry That I Don't Love You The Way That I Should

I am sorry I don’t love you right. I am sorry for all of the hate that I have inflicted on you. I wish I could take it back and say I am sorry, but I can't.

Sometimes I can’t help putting other people first, that is just who I am. I want those in my life to know that I love them so much that I often forget about them, and sometimes I just do not know how to show you my love. Sometimes I don’t know how to show you anything but the hatred I feel. The hatred comes and goes, just as the tide changes, may it be deep or shallow, and it is always kind of there.

There is no way to make up for all of the things I have done to you. Throwing insults at you constantly, making you always doubt yourself. It is just how society has shaped me to act; I wish this were not the case. I know I shouldn’t blame the world for my actions but sometimes there isn’t anyone else to blame.

Everyday I try to learn how to love you better, to put you first, only focus on you, but as I grow older this get increasingly harder. You are not what society expects, your thighs are a little too big, your stomach just not tight enough, the marks on your legs showing how imperfect you really are.

The boy you like just doesn’t feel the same way and that is something you just have to deal with. You are not going to win a boy with looks; you need to find a way for them to get to know you. They might talk to you because you’re friends are prettier and they want them instead, well you know what? You just have to move on because they don’t want you.

I wish I could tell you how to talk to people without making them or yourself uncomfortable or even without annoying them. It probably is the reason you had such a hard time in middle school or even when you were younger in the kids club where the one girl you wanted to be friends with told you to stop following her because you were so weird. I know that things like these that happened years ago affect you still, but you need to do better. You are supposed to be an adult, don’t let those childish fears affect you.

One day you are going to have to accept that you will never be apart of the “cool” group or have lots of friends, its just not who you are and I am sorry for that because I shaped that. You can pretend that you don’t have a lot of friends just because you’re so close with you family, but you need to stop lying to yourself, most people just don’t like you.

I wish that I hadn’t created all of this self-doubt in you, but I can’t help it I don’t love you the way that I should. I have nothing but hatred for you, as much as I try to get the tide to go down, I feel like I am treading in the deep seas rather than relaxing at shore. Maybe one day I will love you.

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.

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.
