Love Note

Dear Ex,

 

I gave you more of me than I had ever given anyone.

 

I trusted you,

 

and loved you with practically everything I had.

 

Time and time again you gave me more reasons of why I shouldn't.

 

My family, friends, and everyone around me tried to tell me that I deserved better,

 

and deep down,

 

I knew it.

 

This wasn't some cliche of me wanting a fairytale of a relationship.

 

I accepted you as is,

 

even as you changed.

 

For months,

 

I'd waited and waited, 

 

looking for the right 

 
moment where we fall into the perfect place. 
 
Unfortunately,
 
we fell out.
 
I'm angry,
 
I'm hurt,
 
but more disappointed
 
in knowing that the one you love didn’t love you as much as you loved them.
 
But I will give you a slow clap for acting like you did care.
 
I want to hate you,
 
and take a steal boot straight to your mouth that fed me so many lies.
 
I just don't have it in me,
 
to give you anymore of my time, 
 
emotion,
 
or efforts.
 
I wasted all my time on you.
 
I gave up on someone who wanted to treat me how I wished you did.
 
If I could ask for anything,
 
I'd ask you "why"?
 
Is this because I wasn't good enough for you?
 
Or was I too much "work”? 
 
Whatever the reason,
 
it still won't be enough.
 
I'm sorry love.
 
I believed in you,
 
and loved you.
 
I wish you nothing but the best at life,
 
and I hope you and your "real love" live happily ever after.
 
Sorry I wasn't enough for you.
 
 
Sincerely, Your Sweetheart.
