Dear Ex-boyfriend,

Our break-up has given me immeasurable joy and happiness. My only wish is that I didn’t have to go through 5 months of hell, crying and wondering if I hadn’t done this or said that, that we would still be together. But I suppose there is no shortcut to getting over someone you thought you’d spend your entire life with. I’m glad we made the mistake thinking we were right for each other; I was yours at 14, you were mine at 17 but time is not always a gentle river and by 20, you probably noticed I wasn’t the same person anymore. I didn’t apologise for changing then and I still won’t now. But if I could go back to the measure of time where you loved me once, I’d like to say I did love you too.
