You Never Care About How I Feel

Dear ___________,

For the most part, I’m writing to let you know that I’m OK.

I can't believe you used to make me the happiest girl in the world and that you convinced me you were “the one." I didn't doubt you one bit, that I was so proud to tell my parents and friends about the wonderful guy I was with. But when you first want someone, you’ll do anything and everything to make sure you will have him or her in the palm of your hand, you had me fooled.

Face it -- you were never there to support me and the effort was never reciprocated. You loved the fact that you had someone attached to your hip that you could control and take advantage of and the love they had to offer. I was trapped in your shadow hoping to satisfy your every want and need that I lost sight of who I was. I can’t thank you enough for doing what you did to me because I would’ve never realized how much of an amazing person I am. I did everything I could to make sure you wouldn’t leave, but it was never enough for you. I hope one day someone comes along and tolerates the way you treat her, because I sure as hell know I never will again.

I’m not telling you that you should feel terrible for what you did, because you didn’t care from day one anyways, but to hope that someone you care for so much doesn’t do what you did to me. But hey, who knows? You might get away with all the lying and cheating you do to people who care for you and that’s your life. But for me, I know that I will never settle for someone who destroyed me like you did.

Fortunately for me, I will never let someone like you into my life again, but will be able to be stronger for the rest of the heartbreaks I will go through. After countless nights in tears and uncertainty, I’ve finally discovered my worth, something you depreciated as time went by. I hope when I find the right guy, you realize that I was the one who got away and you made the biggest mistake for treating me like crap.

And for once, I can finally say that I won this time.

Sincerely,
