I Finally Understand You

To whom it may concern:
You are authentic.
You are kind.
You are compassionate.
You are trustworthy.
Genuine.
Open-minded.
Individualistic.
Accepting.
Self-aware.
Passionate.
Caring.
And loyal.
Intoxicating.
Intuitive.
And a little stubborn sometimes because I'm too realistic.
You try to understand the world and others.
You put others before yourself.
You will go far and you will make such a difference in the world.
You make people happy.
You made me happy.
I loved us.
I enjoyed getting to know you.
It doesn't matter that things became hazy.
Very few people challenge me and no one challenged me like you.
I respected you for disagreeing with me since it rarely happens.
I was sure about us, and I thought it through so you wouldn't have to.
I threw away my fears.
You let your fears get in the way.
Your fears hold you back, you know.
You made us bad to ensure this self-fulfilled prophecy of distrust.
To pretend that we wouldn't work.
That's okay even though it's not okay.
Self-awareness should help you make the changes to better yourself.
But you know this, so go ahead and do it.
You looked for the negative to protect yourself.
You can blame me so you don't have to blame yourself if you want.
Avoidance is what you're good at but is it good for you?
Maybe you shouldn't hesitate because sometimes your love won't wait for anyone.
Sometimes I wish that time would have stood still for you.
Time always seems to run out.
Things that are worth it, are worth working for.
But do not try if they are not.
I could have helped you and I am still willing.
Who you are, who you really are, does not phase me or us or anyone.
I finally figured you out, the person you are.
Nothing scares me about you, your words and actions are no exception.
You peeled away a few layers of mine, more than anyone else has.
You were starting to understand me.
I am accepting of you, not judging.
I understand and would never sprinkle the glass of rejection.
I will accept you and anyone in the future will also if your pages are completely opened.
You go where life takes you but you were too afraid this time.
I did not mean to criticize you and I know you feel the same.
Missteps happen and learning from them is beautiful, really.
I'm good at cutting people off, but this does not mean I never cared.
You have opportunities to grow from, and they help your understanding of yourself and the world.
Life goes on.
As it should.
Because life happened.
But, because of you, I have become a better person.
I just thought I would let you know.
