Dear You,

Thank you. Thank you for showing me what love felt like. I will never forget the time that we shared nor will I ever regret that time.

You entered my life when I was just a fragile 14-year-old. I cannot speak for you, but for me, everything about us was special and delicate.

You were my best friend as well as so much more.

You allowed me to accept myself and learn to love myself. By loving you, I learned how to appreciate and care for other people. I learned how to put somebody else's needs before my own, without forgetting to take care of myself.

Our friendship, as well as our relationship, was never perfect, you know how much 2016 hurt both of us, but no matter what, I could not lose you from my life.

You and I always came back on top, TOGETHER... even if at the time we had been friends only.

I loved you when I was 14, and I chose your happiness in the end, which led to the rocky friendship that we have had since then.

I loved you when I was 14, and I have always had a small piece of myself loving you since then. I miss our conversations, and I miss the time that we spent together.

I may not be in love with you anymore, but you were my first love, and I will always hold you close to my heart because you really truly showed me what it meant to be in love with someone.

I will cherish our time together for the rest of my life, and I will never forget you.

Sincerely,

A Girl Who Has Always Loved You
