Reflecting on My First Love: A Letter to My Ex
Written on
Chapter 1: A Fond Farewell
Allow me to begin by stating that you were my first genuine love, and I truly cared for you. It’s been ten years since our separation, and while I seldom think of you, when I do, I find that there is no lingering pain. Time, it seems, has healed my heart.
I can only guess how you perceived me back then, but I recognize that I was quite immature. My understanding of relationships was limited; all I knew was to love you wholeheartedly, which may have been my downfall. I should have taken the opportunity to learn more about you, which might have helped me avoid getting overly attached.
I realize now that I should have asked you what you truly desired from our relationship—was it love, intimacy, or perhaps a combination of both? I vividly recall the night I stayed at your place and you expressed a desire for intimacy. I may have been naive, but I genuinely didn’t anticipate it.
Being fresh out of my teenage years, I was still a virgin, and the notion of sex felt entirely foreign to me. In fact, I was more of a late adolescent than an actual adult. Your eagerness may have clouded your judgment when I informed you that I wasn’t ready to take that step.
What you did with that information puzzled me; sharing it with your friends, who then used it to mock me, felt incredibly cruel. Why would you put me in a position where I felt inadequate simply for my decision to wait? Your actions were truly unwarranted.
Shortly thereafter, our relationship ended, and I must express my gratitude for the supportive friends who stood by me. In hindsight, it was a relief to move on from a relationship that no longer served me well. I genuinely hope you have grown into a better person over the years, and I wish you the wisdom to avoid making choices driven by impulsive desires.
