Dear You,

Who are you? Are you still the person who thought he had the world at his feet, or are you the person who promised me the world? You choose. Actually, no. You chose.

It's like one day you just disappeared and left no trace of what you used to be to me. You chose to go back to being as empty as you were before we met. It's truly sad to see everything we build ourselves upon is now just irrelevant. The plans, the dreams, the hopes. They all seem to think it was always a joke to you and quite frankly I'm starting to think we were a joke too.

It seems like leaving was a choice you made overnight. Like you woke up one morning and decided to go back to your old self, asking me to forget how used to having you I was. It's kind of like punching me in the face, but I'll try to think of it as a punch with a soft boxing glove. Because I don't know what to do or what to say anymore. You have time for everything except for at least wondering if I'm still alive. We went from talking all day every day to not saying a word like it is that easy to just cut off someone out of my life. I keep blaming it on myself because you're going around living your life so calmly like none of this ever meant a thing.

I was good to you. I loved you the exact way I've always wanted to be loved and it was the last thing that I felt confidently good at. But it's okay. I don't know if I will ever be able to thank you for being everything and nothing at once. It makes no sense. But I'm done. I truly wish you the best and I hope from the bottom of my heart that life gives you whatever you need to fill your emptiness.

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.
