Dear Ex-Girlfriend There's a lot I've wanted to say since we talked last. We didn't end on the best of terms and not on the clearest terms either. When I went to school, I was doubly confused on what to do. I said we should separate because I couldn't do long distance, but I could have. I never told you it was my parents encouraging me to break up with you. I pleaded with them. They didn't want me to say such things, but they didn't seem to care. I would come home and see my mom crying about it. I felt I could not wrong her so I have forced about this. Maybe we did but didn't forget about you. We had such a bond that I hadn't felt with anyone else. You understood me. I was so impressed at how you lived your life. From the back of my mind, I wonder what could've been if I had fought harder for you. Life would be different, but I know it would be happy. It's bittersweet to see you married now. On one hand, I'm glad you're happy and found someone that appreciates you. On the other, I just keep wondering, "What if?" I think fondly back to our time together. I want you to know the truth, if only to free me of this weight I have. You changed my life for the better and I wish you understood how much. I'll always remember our time together. Your former friend
