To My Almost Lover

I deserved better.

To My Almost Lover

The day I met you, oh God, I almost hate the day that I met you. If I would have known that day the emotional roller coaster that you would be sending me on, I would have turned around and walked away.

I gave you everything I had, because when I fall for someone, I fall hard and completely. And you, you watched me as I fell on my face right in front of you, taunting me with what I couldn’t have, and not even bothering to check and see if I was okay. You walked away, and face down on the cold, hard concrete is where I stayed.

You are what I call my almost. You almost loved me. We almost made it. You were almost mine. And the word ‘almost’ stings a little bit more than the memories of you and me. I should've known you would bring me heartache.

You are the person I would have said yes to, if only you were interested in asking. You are the person that made it seem like you care, when, in all reality, you probably didn’t. You are the person that I have wanted to tell about all of the good and bad things that happen in my life, but now you’re not there. You vanished just as quickly as you appeared. You were the skinny love that I thought could work.

However, that wasn’t atypical of you, because while you were my almost, I was your sometimes. I was your ‘when I feel like it’. I was your ‘when I’m not busy’. I was your friend, unless you felt like acting like it was something else.

Now that we don’t see each other I think of what we could have been. I think about what we almost were.But you don’t even think of me at all.

But that’s okay, because I deserve better.

I deserve someone who will think that the sun rises just to see me. I deserve someone who isn’t so hot and cold about wanting to be with me. I deserve someone who is willing to commit to me. I deserve someone who doesn’t take grey areas to their advantage. I deserve someone who chooses me every day. I deserve someone who gives me the love that I try so desperately to give to everyone else. That person wasn’t you, and you only have yourself to blame for that.

Maybe one day, you’ll realize that I deserved to be more than just your sometimes. Maybe one day, you’ll realize that I was an incredible person that would have moved mountains for you. Maybe one day you’ll regret the choice that you made.

Just know, before you try to come back, that I deserved better than how you treated me. I deserved to be more than just a sometimes. I deserved to be loved whole-heartedly, and you couldn’t do that when you had the chance.

“And now all your love is wasted, then who the hell was I? Cause now I’m breaking at the britches, and at the end of all your lines”

Goodbye, my almost.

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.
