Dear XXXX,
This is not an easy letter to write, because I care about you a lot, and I hope you know that. But I think you also know that things just aren't working out between us. It's nobody's fault, but it's time we face the facts.
I think you're great, really I do. You're sweet, and such a joy to be around. But, we're just not right for each other, and I can see that now.
That doesn't mean we can't still be friends. I truly do hope to see you again. My birthday is right around the corner; it'd be a great time to drop by.
But all these late night hook ups we've been having simply have to stop. They're not good for me, and they're definitely not good for you. They've worked a number on my heart, and not for the better. I think we both need to be free of each other, at least for now.
Maybe it's a case of too much of a good thing, but whatever the cause, I don't think it's healthy. I mean, would we really have kept our relationship a secret for so long if we had been good for each other instead of weighing each other down?
I didn't know if I should tell you this last part or not, but I want to be honest with you. I think you deserve to know. And I'd hate for you to hear it from someone else.
I've met someone new. Well, actually we've been acquaintances for a while now, but since things started getting so bad between us me and XXXXXX sort of rekindled our relationship.
The strange thing is, if circumstances were different, I think you'd really like him. But I know that's a big If.
Anyways, this is a lot to process, so for now I'll give you some space. I really am sorry for how things ended between us. It's really not your fault. I just wasn't ready to handle such a serious relationship, to spend so much time together, to depend on one another so deeply.
I truly hope you find someone special soon. You deserve to be happy, really happy, and I want that for you my dear friend.
Again, maybe some time in the future we can sit down together again and laugh about the good old days.
I'll miss you much more than I can say, but I think this is for the best.
So long.
Jen
P.S. I wanted to leave you with a few snapshots to remember me by. Snapshots of happier times, good memories. Though this isn't how we wanted things to end, please don't forget that we had it good once. We had it really good actually, for a long time too. Don't forget that.
And know that no matter how many miles or years may come between us I will always have a special place in my heart for you (and a large place in my gut too, unless my trainer can do something about that).
P.S.S. Celery said he didn't mind me revealing his name. He's very chill like that.
P.S.S.S. If you liked it better when my photos were consistent sizes, please send me a copy of Photoshop. Thanks!
sniff sniff. sad day for XXXX...
