I don't know where you are, I don't even really know anything about your current life. But I certainly know that when we met during a third quarter break at the LOLHS @ ZHS football game Fall 2005, neither of us expected our lives to cross again. But they did. Again and again and again.

Knowing what I know now, hindsight is 20/20. We could have made things work, we could have grown up together, grown old together. But I think that despite all the fights, all the tears, all the crazy.

I still look for people who will be my pillows. I still have a weak spot for musicians. I still feel like I should fix my lovers.

But I learned a lot about myself through you. I learned that resilience is key. I learned that it doesn't take much to remind you of someone. I carried that stone, wore that ring, kept your picture in my wallet for so long. I learned that you don't have to like the same things as your partner. And I learned that sometimes you can't fix the other person. Most of all, I learned to walk away.

You broke my heart. But I broke yours, I guess it was only fair. But I learned that you have to keep moving, fighting to hit the light again. And I learned that I needed to learn much about myself before I could ever be with anyone for a long time.

So thank you.

Goodbye and Good Luck.
I hope you're well.
