Hey there,
I have been trying to find the
right words to say to put you at ease, but the feeling that will be brought
upon you from this is inevitable. I realize this seems sudden and I apologize
for that. The past few weeks have been full of thinking for me. Thinking about
what we have now and what we could have later on in the future. What we have is
amazing. We go out on dates, we hangout and watch movies, we play games and we
text nonstop. You are the only person I’ve ever truly been able to talk to
about my life and I am grateful that you have always been there to listen. When
I’m with you I can be myself, have no cares in the world, and be happy. I don’t
ever want to lose you for sake that I would lose all that.
The thing is, along with all these
things that make me smile, you do things to make me upset, too. When we talk, I
do most of the talking. When we text its those one word answers that are ever
so frustrating. After a while, it feels like I’m the only one trying to keep
this relationship going.
The way you treat me is like a best
friend. It always has been that way. We have fought and argued and laughed and
smiled and had a good time but this relationship doesn’t seem like more than
two best friends hanging out. Now hear me out, that’s not a bad thing. My best
friends and I are super close. We hang out daily and have tons of fun like you
and I do. Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that I think that’s what
I need for us to be. I’m not willing to lose you from my life forever. I only
need to take a break, recap on what we’ve been through, think about the future.
This isn’t a goodbye this is a hello. Hello to the new us of being just best
friends. Like the quote from Peter Pan, “Never say goodbye, because saying
goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting”. I’m not forgetting
you I’m just starting new with you and I hope you have it in your heart to
forgive me for breaking up with you. I hope you truly understand what I mean
when I say all this and I cannot express how much I hope we can stay best
friends. I am ALWAYS here for you. Don’t ever forget that.
Your best friend,
Claire
