Dear You

Dear You,

How great were our good times, and how bad were the not so good? Some people come into our life for a short season, and some for a specific reason. Now my season has come to let you go and become the man I always dreamed you’d be. Your age says mature, but you still have time to grow. This long rough journey we had should never be viewed as a waste, but a much-needed lesson that will help us turn into the people we were destined to be. My purpose was to love you, because you needed so much love. Our time spent together was a much-needed lesson. Our hearts bonded for what felt like a lifetime. We found time to built a foundation, a place, but never found the strength to built a home. I showed you what to look for in a wife, someone loyal, reliable, independent, and intelligent. I completed my reason with you, in this short on and off three years. I gave you my last, and showed you someone truly does care for you. I taught you how love should be, and how a woman who loves you will be there through your darkest hour and be your backbone until your brighter days. I gave you a lesson, a lesson of love that should’ve been taught to you at a young age from your mother. I was put in your life at this specific time to carry you as if you were my own child and supply your needs; your wants, your desires. Now that you know just because you’ve been deceived and life’s been tough doesn’t mean that no one loves you, and someone will give their all to love you, and give their last: dollar, chance, even breath to see you smile.

Close to four years well spent. Since then I gave you more lessons. A lesson in how one should not love you. Her future should not be put before you, so that she’s there when you need her. Her stubborn ways shouldn’t keep her from calling you back to back until you answer to make things work. Communication, something that should come easy should not stand in the way. You learned the long distance only makes it worse, and the bad sex we encountered time and time a again, to keep each other happy was to prove you’ll do anything to stick by someone’s side. Emotions should be expressed, because we never know when our season is over.

So, now we’ve completed our reasons, and our lessons. The seasons have now changed and its time we go our separate ways. One of us has already found another and started a family. While the other is craving for another reason, even though we both know we’ve been passed our season. I could never wrap around why I couldn’t let you go but now I know it wasn’t time, you still needed me there to help you grow. Our love was a crazy thing it was, and one day I will learn not to miss it but appreciate the time spent. I will learn to take my pain, my bitterness, and my disappointments and remove them from my heart. I will learn how to fill the empty space you’ve left behind. I will learn to control the tears and let go of the fear of another broken heart. I will eventually forget about you, and learn to love another, and you will continue to grow and experience the love you lacked at such a delicate age. You will find that right one if you haven’t already, who will love you so much, you’ll forget me and all the pain I put you through. She’ll unfreeze that cold hearted heart of yours, and love you like no other. You will finally learn how to love another as I love you. You are destined for greatness, and ready for a full life a head of you. We were not meant to be, but destiny needed us to come together, and fulfill a purpose, and now we must say our final goodbye. Our lives must move on. I must move on. We’ll never magically bump into each other, but will cross one another’s mind from time to time, and were only remember the good days, and smile and reminisce. If there ever comes a time when the thought of me makes tears roll down your face, don’t assume this is what you had coming; think of me as a memory lost or faraway dream to close to a fantasy to come true. We may even miss each other from time to time, but time will pass and we’ll both move on from this place. Farwell to you: my friend, my love, my heart, and my soul. Continue on with life, and never forget this lesson. Enjoy your replacement of me, and love her like you never loved another. I wish you and your new family the best. Enjoy this new season.

Love,
Me
