To The Guy I Unexpectedly Gave A Chance

I broke my own rules for you.

To The Guy I Unexpectedly Gave A Chance

I never wanted this. I was with you because I believed in a fairy tale, that someone like you could ever care for a girl like me. A guy that knew who he was. A guy that I believed was too attractive to even look my way. A guy that genuinely gave me the time of day and made me believe I could be more than a fling or a fun night. A guy that put effort into knowing my friends and asking me about my day. But at the end, the truth is we are only who we see ourselves as – and I have never been a princess, but for a brief moment I almost believed I was.

That was my problem, believing. Believing that I could have something special with you, or anyone in general. I believed that you were different because you didn’t just tell me you were, but you acted it. Maybe you were just that, a really good actor, but I wish I knew this before because I would have put my stunt double in for this painful scene. I had no idea. I was the fool again, when you assured me I wouldn’t be. Yet here I am, writing something that you will never read because I know you can push the thoughts of me aside, but it’s not that easy for me.

I will never understand how someone can put so much effort in, just to let it fall apart, to ignore it ever occurred. To pretend like I no longer exist when at one point I was all that consumed your mind. I can honestly say I didn’t see this coming so soon, I thought that someone more convenient and enticing would be around your corner at some point. I’m not sure if that is the case right now or if you genuinely just stopped giving a d*mn.

Either way, it’s over, I deserve more than an electric fire in my life. Because once that power goes out, you’ve become worthless to me. I need something that I can rely on each day and that will grow to be bright and utterly inextinguishable, I need a wildfire – what you proved to not be. Although I know you will never be able to give me closure or even an explanation to why I suddenly was no longer relevant to you, I should thank you. Not for hurting me, but for showing me that it is possible to feel vulnerable and to have feelings for another person again. Not for not fighting for me as I had to make the decision to leave. For a while, I thought I would never get to that point with someone.

So in a way, thank you – for allowing me to fall. But I am sorry that one day soon you will see how much you messed up by letting me stay on the ground.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
