To The Guy Who Made Me Feel Worthless, Even When I Thought You Made Me Feel Everything

You were supposed to be one of the good ones.

I thought you were going to be different, but I guess that was my mistake. I hoped that we would be best friends who just happened to date each other, but I guess that was my mistake. I thought that this could work because you had told me you wanted it to. I guess my main issue was trusting you.

I trusted you and I shouldn't have. You made me feel like our history wasn't going to repeat itself, but then it basically did. You didn't choose me, but then after you broke up with her came running back to me. I thought we had a lot in common. We're both nerds. I said random facts about things I love and you didn't mind. In fact, I thought you liked that about me.

After we stopped talking that year I thought I wasn't good enough. Little did I know that we talk again the next year and you would make me feel special, but then you would crush my heart again.

Being stood up is no fun, but I held my head up and told myself you weren't worth crying over anyways. I let my friends tell me to ignore you when you tried to contact me again. I tried to ignore you but felt guilty when I didn't even do anything to you. I texted you back, but expressed how hurt and mad I was that I wasn't even worth a phone call or a text.

You said you didn't have your phone, but you didn't even try to contact me on your friend's phone or accounts. You came and apologized, but you really just gave me an excuse. You hurt me time after time, and I still forgave you. I opened up my heart to you again and again only for you to crush it, but I still forgave you. I couldn't move on, but I didn't blame you. I blame myself for getting too attached to the idea of who I thought you were.

I will always forgive you because I've always been taught to forgive and forget. I blame myself because I hate seeing other people upset, but can handle being upset myself. I want you to know that what you did was wrong. You can't stand a girl up when you made plans for a date without contacting her. I want you to know that messing with my head and telling me you want to date when you had a girlfriend and then telling me you actually want to stay with your girlfriend isn't okay. I want you to know that making me your second choice isn't okay.

I want you to know that I deserve better than being a second choice. I want you to know that I will find someone who will ALWAYS put me first and treat me the way I deserve. I want you to know that I forgive you for treating me like I was nothing to you. I want you to know that I am always here for you if you need someone to talk to because I believe in being the bigger person. I want you to know that I will always remember the way you treated me, but would never do that to you.

I want you to know that you really don't deserve my forgiveness, but I'm giving it to you anyways and I wish you nothing but the best.

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.
