I'm sorry.

We said we would try to work it out...but I just can't stay anymore. I know this note probably seems meaningless to you, and I know you're probably asking yourself why you're even reading it. I meant to tell you last night, but you came home drunk. You know how violent you get when you're drinking...how could I? Although, that's one of the reasons this note has to be written.

Our love was like a roller coaster; it was fun while it lasted but afterwards it just kind of made me sick. How did we expect to build on our relationship if it was only being held together by lies? Our love is not intoxicating...it's suffocating. I feel like I can't breath. Whenever I'm with you or even near you, I just can't breath. The thought of you makes me tired. The thought of spending time with you makes me realize I'd rather be any place else.

I'm sorry I let you down, but I'm not sorry for leaving. Although, as of right now you may be angry with me I can't help but think months, or even weeks from now you'll be thanking me. Trust me when I say it's all going to be okay. I know my opinion probably means nothing to you right now, but everything is going to be okay. Your entire world didn't revolve around me, even if mine did you, which is why you'll be okay. Don't pretend to be shocked at the fact this is happening. God knows it was inevitable. The only question we had left in our minds is now or later. I chose now.

You were there for me when I needed you. I think that maybe, just maybe, the universe didn't mean for us to last. I was just a girl, and you were just a boy. I was sad, and you helped me find happiness again. You were scared, and I helped you find bravery even in the scariest of situations. We were good for each other at that time, even if it didn't last. I'm not the broken girl I once used to be, and you're not the same man I once knew and God, am I happy for you. Some girl is going to love you for you one day, like I could not. I'm sorry it couldn't be me, and even if you may think I'm giving up right now trust me when I say, I could never love you like I once did.

I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just...it's hard to fix what's already broken. I know you tried, and that's why I loved you. That's why I've always loved you. You were not just a person. You were my life. God, I hope you know that...but at some point everybody moves on. I was okay for a little while, but once the day broke into night and it was time to say our goodbyes...the only thing I felt was numb and cold. I longed for your arms but you never showed. And that my darling, is why this is my last goodbye. I'm sorry.
