I want things to be clear. If ever, by some strange way of fate, this person reads this, well then... Good. You'd know how I feel.

I'm completely happy with my new life. I'm happy with the person I'm with right now. I'm actually very thankful to you for letting me go. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have met this amazing person I now call my special someone. He's so much better than you. I'm not making you feel bad or anything of the sort. He just respects me and just genuinely loves me. It may be too early to say so but it feels more real than what we had. I want you to know that I'm not bitter for you leaving me in the midst of my problems. Although yes, I do hope you felt even a tinge of guilt when you did so. I'm doing better now. Even way better than before, acing my classes, expanding my social circle, and at everything else. Everything is going ever so smoothly, thank goodness.

It's been more than a year and I've deleted everything that reminds me of you. (Like I said, no bitterness here.) But I'm sorry. I gave you a chance--a chance you never saw nor took. I waited for you for a year and you never showed any sign of even giving a damn. You know, if I was given a second chance with you, I wouldn't take it. I'm completely content with who I'm with right now. You said you wanted me to be happy, and I am. I don't care if you've regretted your decision or not. I no longer regret my decision though. I've cried so many tears for you and that was all so useless. 

Now I see why we didn't work out. Because I was meant for someone else. God was preparing me for someone else. Thanks to you, I now know how to act in a relationship. I now know how to work things out. And I'm very much blessed because this time, we're working and fighting together. It's not just me who's fighting. You didn't want to fight. You didn't want to fight for me. And now someone amazing comes along and is willing to fight for me.

Thank you because you broke my heart so that someone else, someone more special, will be able to mend it perfectly.
