Hi Brad, 

The chances that this is ever going to reach you are approximately zero, and I guess I’m counting on that. It’s been like 2 years and a half since our breakup, and I cannot believe time has flown by. It seems like both of our lives have changed a lot. After our breakup, I focused on my career completely as usual and have already made so many one my dreams come true… the dreams I used to tell you about and I’m sure you have seen my life updates on linkedin. On the other hand, I don’t know much about your life. I do know that you have been in a relationship for the past 2 years with the girl that was supposed to be your rebound. To be honest, I never really thought that you guys would last based on what you told me, but I’m guessing you fell in love and I truly do hope that you are happy. 

I know that I broke your heart and that while we were together, you showered me with love and you always thought that I didn’t love you as much as you loved me because I didn’t show it much. It’s taken me a lot of growing up to get used to truly showing people how much they mean to me. I really wish I knew then what I know now and we would have never ended. I don’t think I’ve ever respected or cared for someone as much as I care and respect you, no matter the time or distance. I always tell people about you because you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I didn’t think it was possible for someone to be so perfect. I was too young and I think that I knew deep down that we would be forever and the thought of that scared me so much that I ruined it instead. 

Unlike you, I have been single this whole time and will continue to be because I don’t think anyone is ever going to meet the point at which you’ve set the bar. But to be honest, you know I have a long list of dreams to work for, and I am happy to dedicate my life to just doing that. I just don’t want to settle for anyone that is not even close to who you are. I am so lucky to have met you and for the fact that you taught me the love that I truly deserve to have in life. I can only pray and wish and blindly hope that life has a way of bringing us back together, by chance, just how we met outside a classroom that one night. But I know that the probability of that happening is extremely low. But I’m always going to cherish every memory we had and I’m always going to love you. So I will do nothing but cheer on you, your career, and your relationship from a distance. You deserve all of the best things that this life has to offer.
