To The Love Of My Life Who Is Moving On Without Me

You were the greatest love I've ever found and if I ever find that again I promise not to let go. Promise me, you won't let go if you do the same.

Our story was one that I won't ever forget. It was a whirlwind kind of love, one that I never thought I would feel. I keep chasing for it now that I know it exists. When we first met I felt something there but avoided it because it wasn't the right time or place.

A few months passed by and when we had our first date, it was like nothing I've ever had before. I felt like I was in a movie where everything seems to go by so quickly and you never have a moment to catch your breath.

I will love you for the rest of my life.

You were everything to me. I knew that I would never lose myself in you because you were so amazing at making sure we both had separate dreams that would collide. We never planned our lives together because our own plans worked together. You taught me so many things about life and things in general. I never thought that we would ever not be together.

There was a huge part of me that thought you were the one, and that one day everything would fall together. Now I see that I was wrong because everything fell apart. I know that I am the main reason to blame. I'm sorry for that, and for the pain I caused you. I'm glad that you got through it; I'm glad that you moved on.

For a while there, I thought that I could never love again.

Thankfully I was wrong, but I haven't loved someone the way I've loved you yet and I don't know if I ever will. You were my first love, hopefully not my last. The world does need to know though, that you were the greatest love I've ever found, and if I ever find that again I promise not to let go.

Promise me, you won't let go if you do the same.

Don't let go just because you saw me in a bar, saw my smile, felt my touch, and was brought back to all the good. With the good comes the bad, and our bad was terrible. I pushed, you fled. We weren't a good combo then, and we've spent a year and a half of our lives apart. We wouldn't be good together now.

Our chapter has come to an end.

Just because we are over doesn't mean that you weren't the love of my life or that I will stop loving you; the truth is you were the love of my life and I won't stop loving you. I don't think I ever could. With all of that also comes a small amount of heartbreak seeing you move on.

I want you to know that I am happy for you, and I hope that you love her as much as you loved me. I want to stay in your life, I want to know all about your accomplishments and watch you from afar. I just can't be in your life like I was before because I love you and I can't watch someone else love you.

Thank you for showing me what falling in love feels like.

Without you, I would never know how it feels to fall head over heels for someone. To want everything they want, to push them, and make them be the best they can be. You will always push me to be my best, and I will prove you right. I will show you that I can live up to my potential.

Don't ever stop kicking me in the right direction when I get off track.

You mean the world to me and I won't stop loving you, but I'm happy for you and I hope that you are happy for me.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
