Dear Steve
I'm sorry for what I'm about to do, but it's necessary, for the both of us, first of all I want you to know that I love you and a piece of my heart will always do, but it's time to let each other go.
Today's fight allowed me to finally open my eyes and see the reality of stuff.
I know you love me, but the truth is that you love her more, or at least the memory of her, and to be honest with you, even though my heart belongs to you, I can't live like this, living in the shadow of somebody else.
I always knew you were a man out of time, but I was foolish enough to think that I would be enough to make you stay, to make you see that the present isn't so bad, but now I see I was lying to myself, making me believe that.
I'm writing this while you're out, you were really angry and you probably went to see her, so I have enough time, she seems to be the only person to calm you down, I already pack my stuff, and you won't see me again.
I won't write how you broke my heart, how those words broke my soul, I will just say thank you for letting me walk along side you, if only for a brief moment, and just let me tell you that I wish you a happy and long life, I hope you find love, friendship and adventures, I won't be there to see you live your life, but I know you will be okey.
But before I say goodbye one last time, I want to ask something from you, when the next girl comes, please love her for her, love her with your entire heart and soul, love her the way she is, don't try to change her or make her somebody else, we both know you can't seem to stop living in the past, you did it with me, always comparing me to her, and I couldn't seem to live up to her image, to be honest with you, it was draining.
But now that I'll be gone, we both know I will become your next what if, and you will try to live in this past with me, but that's not possible, so I will ask you to do this favour to me, when the next girl comes, don't compare her to me, don't see what she doesn't do that I did, don't see what she says that I didn't, love her the way she is, so she won't ask herself why she's not enough, so she won't think constantly why no matter what she does won't be enough to you.
The only thing left to say is I wish you happiness and peace of mind, take care of you and please don't look out for me because I'm already gone living my life, being enough for myself.
Always Yours
Sincerely
Y/N Y/L/N
