To The Man Who Wasn't Ready To Love Me

They say relationships don’t work sometimes because of bad timing, but I don’t believe in bad timing.

To The Man Who Wasn't Ready To Love Me


Well, Sweetie we have been separated for quite some time now. We don't speak much, and when we do it's short and sweet, leaving the truthfully painful details out. I hope you are truly doing well. I pray you find what you’re looking for, even if it wasn’t me. I will admit there are days I wish it was me, I wish I would have been enough for you. I wish we would have worked the differences, mistakes, and distance. I could sit here and say all the “would have, could have, and should have “situations we encountered. You have no idea how often you come across my mind, a lot more than I would like to admit.

I heard you have moved on and I just hope she is worth your time, because clearly I was not. I hear she is a beautiful redhead. I hear she’s perfect in your eyes. I hear more from your friends than you anymore. I could hear everything and anything under the sun, but it will never mean anything to me unless I hear it from you. I hope she looks at you the way I did, like you are the sun and the moon and everything in between. I hope she talks about you like you put the stars in the sky, but she will never know how you put them in my eyes. I hope she’s the happily ever after I could not give you.

They say relationships don’t work sometimes because of bad timing, but I don’t believe in bad timing. I believe you want it or you don’t, and you clearly just didn’t want me. Which I guess I will learn to live with, but I will always wonder why. Why did you paint a pretty picture in my head of our happily ever after? Why did you let the distance destroy us? I will probably be left with these questions till the day I die.

You told me you were not ready for the commitment of loving me, and all I did was nod, thinking that eventually everything will be okay and you will come around and learn to love me. You told you were just not ready to settle down as you peeled off my clothes and laid your hands on me not to pleasure me but yourself, and I hoped this would make you want me, but it didn’t. And I stayed around lingering in and out of your life inconsistently hoping one day you would decide you wanted to settle down, and you would call at random times when you wanted to feel good about yourself. I would drop everything running to your aid. And when you built yourself up and you were ready to settle down I didn’t even cross your mind. I should have known that if you were not ready to love me then, you never would be.

But in the end, the sky is still blue without you and I am no longer surprised by that. The birds still sing, and life goes on. Life will always go on. Maybe one day I will find my happily ever after, I just hope he is nothing like 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.

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.
