To The Girl Before Me

I never knew I could appreciate a stranger, but I do.

"Thank you!" was the first thing I thought of when you came to mind. You don't know me and I don't know you, but I'm thankful for you. It's funny how a stranger can be thankful for someone they never met. I don't hate you nor do I envy you, I just simply appreciate you for losing a guy so special.

Maybe your relationship was once the best thing in your life at one point. You both were so happy and everything was great. I'm thankful for that as well, because he experienced everything you are that I am not. He loves who I am, which is everything you are not. That's why we fit so perfectly together. So thank you for being everything opposite of me.

Thanks for being so quite and taken aback, because now he's with a loud free spirit. Thanks for being so "organized" because now he appreciates my spontaneity! Thank you for being such a goody-goody because that has made him love that I stand for what I believe in. Most importantly, I appreciate that you had no idea how to love him sufficiently. Now he knows what it feels like to be adored from head to toe, to his heart through his soul.

You probably now know what you let slip through your hands! Now that you see that gorgeous smile, that once glanced at you, strike in my direction. You now long for his voice, but it no longer speaks your name. I'm so thankful that what slipped for you, I caught. I had no idea I was going to find my soul mate, but isn't that when you do? When you aren't looking? You may have been his first in a lot of things, but nothing beats being his last! What you thought you had and promised you'd be is now what I get to be for him! I am forever grateful for that! You losing him changed my life and gave him his.

So, thank you for being you. You, which isn't what he wanted, but is what some one else is looking for. I am grateful your relationship with him fell through or else I wouldn't have found the man of my dreams. I am sure there is someone out there for you that just isn't my fish and I do hope that you find your Prince Charming just as I have. I have no hard feelings at all toward you. I'm just so glad you're the worst thing he ever had.

Thank 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.
