An Open Breakup Letter to the Girl I Don’t Want to Go

Dear ________________,

I recently read that 88% of Americans believe breaking up in person is always necessary. While I understand the sentiment, expressing these emotions face-to-face is a challenging prospect for me at the moment. I hope you can comprehend the difficulty in finding the right words in such a delicate situation.

Where do I begin? Well you are by far the most beautiful person I have ever known. I love you with all my heart, and it breaks me to know that after such a short time together we must be parted. It was truly the happiest time in my life and I hope it holds the same significance for you, as it did me. It will be tough for both of us but you are strong, stronger than you know, and I know you will be okay with time.

There are too many memories to simply write down, from the silliest jokes to the most childish moments, to the most intimidate like reaching for you in the dark and the simple act of holding your hand while walking across the street. They are the moments I will treasure. You have helped me in so many ways, from the smallest thing to the largest. From the simple act of helping me conquer my self and my share of weaknesses. I can never thank you enough and my appreciation goes beyond what I can express.

And we had so much fun as well didn’t we? Everything from watching movies, (all mine being superior of course.) To the long walks and feeding the birds.

You are one of the kindest most loving people, I have ever met and it is a rare quality. I am so glad to have experienced it for even the shortest period of time. I would have been glad to experience any length of time, whether that be short or long.

There are so many amazing qualities about you, you should take pride in them, no matter who may try and put you down. Just know you are appreciated by all those people who come in contact with you. There is an air of innocence and goodness to you that seems to reach out to all those around you.

Your generosity seems to know no bounds and I truly hope you can find someone to match that. I have no doubt you will find someone better than me back home and I hope with all my heart you are happy. Where ever you end up and whoever you end up with. You are gorgeous in looks; personality, mind and I know you will find someone worthy to be with you, of that I am sure.

It feels strange writing this. It is surreal; the idea you must leave seems distant, unreal almost. But as I write this it is sinking in, my hand is going numb. I feel small and scared. I don’t want you to leave. Every fiber of my being says this can’t be real and this isn’t happening. I want to stop it, but what can I do. Oh how I wish you could stay. I would give up everything I have for it.

How can I say goodbye? I can’t. I won’t. I can’t say it here; it is beyond me. I am tearing up here and people are staring. I say let them stare for I feel no shame in my love for you. Thank you for everything. I will never forget you.

I love you with all my heart.
