Dear Rebound,

I know that we don't really talk anymore, but I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for giving me my confidence back. I really don't think I would've gotten through my breakup if it wasn't for you. You were the one who helped me move on and made me realize what I deserve out of a relationship. You made me feel beautiful and wanted at a time where I couldn't have felt more unloved and worthless. The little things you did and said meant a lot to me.

Thank you for being strong when I couldn't be. You knew I was having a hard time, but you were there for me anyway. You cheered me up when I was sad and kept me busy when I started to think too much. You were my rock when I really needed someone to lean on. I will forever be grateful to you for that.

Thank you for coming into my life at the best possible time for me and the worst possible time for you. I know it wasn't easy for you to be with someone who was emotionally unavailable, which is why I understand why you decided to end things between us. I wish I could've been there for you as much as you were there for me. I will always wonder what would've happened to us if we met under different circumstances.

Thank you for, well, everything. For the hugs and for the kisses. For listening to me when I needed to talk and for sitting in silence when I didn't. For taking me out when I wanted to do something and for staying in with me when I didn't. Thanks for bringing me pizza, listening to the music I like, and watching Disney movies and going to the mall with me. I have so many fond memories with you and will always cherish the time we spent together.

But more than any of this, thank you for reminding me what it was like to be happy.
