Dear Boyfriend,

I am sorry that we had to end like this. At least, we tried everything we could. Thank you for trying not to give up on us and be patient for so long.

Being with you was like sleeping on the world’s nicest mattress. Although when it was not, being with you was like getting lost in the mountain alone, it started raining heavily, I kept walking for one hour without an umbrella, yet I don’t know where I am. I cannot walk anymore.
Even though my mattress is not as good as yours, I wanna go home.

I am leaving you not because I stopped loving you. I am hurt, exhausted and confused. Your tight warm hug melts me, you give me your jacket even when you are freezing too, you go to buy medicine if I have a stomachache in the middle of the night, you are willing to come with me if I get a great career opportunity overseas, while whispering I am not good enough for you.
After many same old your actions, discussions and fights, I realized that my wounds will never be healed as long as I stay here.

Hope this breakup grows us up even if it means we grow apart.

I’ll always love you,
Rena
