I get it. I was always insecure. There were voids in my heart that only I should’ve filled, but instead I filled them with you and I never felt truly satisfied. I relied on you to be my emotional backbone. You were the only thing that made me happy. In attempts to feel satisfied I abusively tested your love, taking it for granted. I pushed you away, just to see if you would come back. Sending that breakup text was not to break up with you but just to make sure you wouldn’t leave. Of course, I was high which made it worse, but the weed was not a result of my intentions. It only magnified what was already present. Speaking of the weed, I found something that also gave me security/happiness. My blind heart,only wanting to fill its holes, did not see a perfect loving girl and weed, it saw two outlets for fulfilment. Ignorantly it chose the quicker/easier one to access. Due to the nature of drugs, it consumed my life and caused me to neglect you in ways I never wanted to. For the record, it was never my friends. They were in no way better than you and I knew that deep down. I just happen to be around them most when I was high.
The sad part is that I was completely unaware of it. At the time, I didn’t know why I did all of it or that it was wrong, otherwise I would’ve stopped. Oblivious to my issues I took you for granted without even knowing. I was selfish. I was always selfish. Mostly every issue we had stemmed from my insecurity and selfish ways to appease it. I only did what was in my interests. Although you have the one of the largest hearts I’ve ever experienced, it was not infinite. Your capacity to love seemed bottomless, but that was my mistake. I ran you dry. I neglected your heart and only cared for mine. I’m truly sorry for that. I hope you can see that I was just a young/dumb kid rather than seeing me as a bad person.
Fortunately, I’m learning how to love myself by forgiving myself. Not to undermine my actions (I’ve definitely grieved enough), but so I can move on and avoid these mistakes in the future. This experience has truly shaped me. I want to thank you for opening my eyes. However, I wish that I would’ve made this mistake with someone else because you are undeniably the cat’s pajamas. I got lucky and unlucky to find the best one first.
You were my first true love and it was incredible. I think it’s fair to say I did the best I could with what I had during the time. I truly enjoyed our time spent together, and I am very grateful for it all; Our adventures, our laughs, the dancing, our cuddles, everything. I believe what we had was truly beautiful and a blessing. Sadly I lost sight of what it was.
Boop, you will always have a very, very special place in my heart. I pray only for happiness in your life. I love you and I hope for the absolute best for you and your future.
