Dear Self,
Do yourself a favor and stop wishing for him to come back. Because he won't.
He has someone new, someone who brings him happiness more than you do. Someone who loves him better than you can ever will.
Perhaps you did love him but it was not the love he needs. Not the kind he wants.
Stop fighting for him because he has given up on you. Respect his choice and respect his new girl and most of all, respect yourself.
Wish him happiness because he deserves it and you deserve peace. One day soon, your happiness will come. Your meaning will come and it will all make sense.
You will look back and realize why you had to go through all these pains and hurts. It will bruise and scar you, but it will make you stronger.
Make time your friend. It is not as easy as it sounds for your heart is an impatient one. But as days pass, it will all go away. If you are lucky enough, time will give you the gift of forgetting.
Of course you will still remember. When his song plays on your forgotten playlist, when you see his pictures as you search for files on your computer, or when you re-read your conversations on your phone. You will see these things that will remind you of him, but the ache will stop. The ache will leave your heart.
If you are luckier, you will another who will replace him. Right now, you might think that no one can outdo him. But there will be one who will make you believe that love exists, that love is worth making, that there is sense in everything. You will love and be loved again.
Luckiest are you because in these times of sorrow you will find yourself again. You will learn your strengths. You will learn to be you again. You will learn to stand up after a defeat. But you will be you again and that's what matters most.
Do not hurt anymore. It will come to pass. It will come to pass.
