An open letter to my first love

Where could I begin?

I fell in love with you three years ago. And these past three years have been the most confusing and complicated years of my life. Luckily, I met you right in the mist of my teenage years, for that I am greatful. Although we did not work out, you have taught me many lessons as well as being my best friend through many hardships.

I realize who you are now is not who I thought you would've turned out to be. It's disappointing who you have grown into.. but I won't hold it against you right now. You're growing; learning.

I will always love you. In a way that is more genuine and kind than romantic. I will always care for you and of course pray for only the best circumstances. Being there for you in your time of loss was hard but also a huge lesson. I hope that I helped you along the way and taught you things as you have me. You were my best friend more than anything.

More than anything you showed me what I deserve. What I deserve is more than you can give me, and don't mean to say that in a rude or disrespectful way in any means. We both know that the past hasn't been kind to us, and we've made peace with it. The mistakes you've made have not only taught you but also me, and this is okay. It is expected.

We've shared many memories together, both filled with laughter and bliss as well as sadness and disappointment. Although we were not meant for each other we were definitely meant to be a part of each others lives for the time that we were. Thank you for everything.

I love you, William. In the most genuine way possible. Sending out only my love and hope for your future. Sorry it wasn't meant for the both of us to be a part of.
