Hey You,

It’s taken me over three months to figure out all the things that I wish I could say to you so I just decided to write them all down in this letter. I know the chances of you reading this are slim, which is fine; I just needed a way to get this all out.

The first thing I want to ask you is why? Why did you do it?

Why did you feed me all of these bullshit lines about how you liked me and how you couldn’t wait to call me your girlfriend and how I'm so beautiful, when all along you were just using me? You knew I was afraid of getting hurt so why didn’t you just let me go when you had the chance? You strung me along until you got what you wanted and then you threw me away like I was some worthless toy. But I’m not. I am a person. A person who had real feelings for you, ones that you obviously did not return.

I just don't understand why you chose me? Was it because I looked like someone that could be easily fooled? Was it because I'm a very trusting person? I was finally starting to put myself back together after going through a tough time and then you came along and made me fall apart again. You hurt me in a way that I have never been hurt before. And I know we were never "officially" dating or anything like that, but that does not mean that the feelings that I had for you weren't real. Now I know that none of these questions will ever get answered and I'll probably never know why you decided to use me like you did but that's okay because I was finally able to let everything out that I've kept bottled up inside me for the past few months.

But honestly, after thinking this all through, I really want to say thank you. Thank you for showing me that I deserve SO much better. Thank you for showing me that I worth so much more than you thought I was. And most of all, thank you for making me a stronger person. I was a mess after you ended things with me, I honestly was not sure how I was going to get through it, but I did. And I'm a stronger person because of it.

Sincerely,

The Girl You Thought Was A Toy.
