They say opposites attract, but none ever said they were meant to last. I love you. Present tense. But I am glad you were able to tell me the truth about how you really feel, about where this relationship is heading, at least the idea of it. You were never the one with doubts about sticking around, so when this came around, I guess, it's been a long one for you. I'm sorry if I had to break my promise. I'm sorry if I had to hurt you. I guess when we got into this, we were too young to think about how far this is gonna go. I was merely 12 and I was so mesmerized with the whole idea of infatuation and happiness. Obviously things don't work that way when I grow 5 years older. We just didn't plan for it to get this far, just living the days, or perhaps it was bad timing. But it was so beautiful and amazing while it lasted, our love. A one-of-a-kind friendship. You taught me so much about happiness and being myself. I appreciate it. I appreciate all the care and concern for the past 5 years. All those times when I was sad or sick and you were there. I appreciate all the meals you've paid for me, the movie tickets, gifts. Whatever I'm left with, I'll keep them somewhere safe and make sure I'll be reminded of good things about you. If I ever caused you trouble, I'm sorry. I never meant to do you wrong in any way, or I never meant to be pushy. You were just so warm and comforting and it always felt right to be with you. You are a great guy, with a big heart and I'm so lucky I got to see that side of you. It's heartbreaking, to see something I value so much fade away, but if it's gonna be good for the both of us, then I'll abide to it. I hope one day when you open up your heart to someone new, you'll be ready and I wish all the best for you. I guess this is the end. I'm really really glad I met someone like you. You'll always be remembered. You with that goofy grin, you with that sparkle in your eyes. My first love, you'll always be my wonderwall. Goodbye and take care, Shadiq.
It's like going on an adventure together, just not side by side.
