i’m sorry for realizing too late that you were the one for me. i’m sorry for taking advantage of your kindness and sweet, sweet love. i’m sorry for wasting your time and not taking you serious. i never really believed in love, thought this generation was incapable of it. so i focused on never staying attached, and if i did; i’d quickly leave and move on to the next person to mess with. that’s exactly what i did with you and i regret it so very much. 


i most definitely do not deserve your forgiveness or any access to you back. you’re pure, genuine and wonderful while i’m mostly just a dark cloud in comparison. i know nothing will ever excuse how i fucked up and mistreated you. i wish things could’ve been different and i had just told you what was really going on instead of shutting everybody out. i guess that’ll always be a mystery to you.. a part of me hopes you won’t ever move on as i but that would be far too selfish. 


you deserve more than anything i could offer, or any average person for that matter. you have undoubtedly left a huge, deep mark on me. i’m praying in some whimsical way you’ll come across this post and resonate with it, secretly hoping it’s me. i doubt that though since this is pretty out of character for myself, i couldn’t even write you a paragraph after all. maybe one day we’ll cross paths again, even if we’re wrinkled and old. 


i truly am sorry and always will be for how things turned out, 


i love you.

I think the fact that so many people here wish their person wrote this to them is your sign you should send this to your person OP. It’ll grant you and them the ability to heal

I just randomly saw your letter and felt I needed to read it.

I don't know who you are behind this letter but I can feel the hurt and ache for that person you miss in those words I wish I could of been some comfort and a shoulder to cry on if we were friends cause by the looks of you seem like someone that thinks real deep about things a of course just like anyone else who has there story and past, me too.

Please don't be hard on yourself and hurt yourself even more, stop. Why blame yourself for what you did back in that moment of time you had your reasons and perspectives back then that immaturity has moulded you to become the person you are today it's teached you alot and prepared you for what is to come in the near future.

Neither you or that person is perfect that person has there past too and there dark side we all do some people just don't show it. Just please don't be hard on yourself I've been there and it ain't nice at all the good I got out of it though was the lessons it taught me and the stepping stones to build from.

I really do feel your letter because I'm in a similar situation as you, both of us weren't perfect at the time we were young and liked different things in life at the time looking back now I miss them it's been a few years first two was really hard for me I would cry and close myself in I felt bad that I closed them out like that because of the way they were around me but now we are mature and are seeing how life really is both living our own lives. They are still in my heart maybe that's why you also feel the same way if so but for me it's why it's hard because I hold this person in a special place because there the very first person for me to have feelings for now they mean something it's hurts if I let of go of them like that because maybe they felt the same way too I don't know and I'll never know till we cross paths again. When you truly love and care about someone it's hard too let them go I learnt to live by the day slowly letting go because I feel that's whats right for me in my situation i need to move on with my life and focus on myself and goals.

I really do hope you will reconcile with this person one day i really do feel what your going through and can relate alot id say if you know they have feelings for you too call them message them tell them ask to meet somewhere and talk about things they will see the hurt you have been going through trust me they know what you did and if someone really cares about you they would tear up just like you when your eyes lock with each other sometimes you don't even explain it shows through the eyes. If it's bound to be between the both of you then you both will eventually meet again but if you know they already feel the same way now is the time I will do this too except I don't know if they feel the same way but I will know and I'm going to make a move.

All the best writter of this letter take care of yourself it will happen if it's bound too happen and if you see them show it show them how much they really mean to you and don't let them pass you by come on you want to spend the rest of your life with them.

Go for it!

You sound like my ex with the way you write and admitting to not ever wanting to write paragraphs lol It gave me a sense of closure I have been looking for from someone I never truly had closure with so thank you c: I hope whoever you wrote to comes back to you!
