Dear Replacement,
There are a few things I think you should know, as you
are now the object of his affection.
Don’t let it surprise you, how quickly you fall for him,
and don’t be apprehensive in letting yourself fall. He’ll
be there to catch you. Don’t let my Facebook page
intimidate you. There were a lot of pictures of us, and
while I hate to admit it, the pictures are a thing of the
past.
He’s taken down most of them by now. He may not talk
about me to you; he didn’t talk to his friends about it
when it ended, so I don’t know if they will know either. It
was a beautiful, one-sided love story of the past, but you
are his future now.
We don’t know each other, and I am sure you already
don’t like me. I resented you slightly when I first found
out, but we do have something very wonderful in
common, and it connects us whether we like to admit it
or not.
I won’t text him or like his posts on social media. I can’t
tell you every secret because it took me time to
figure that out myself. But just trust that there are
reasons he doesn’t say what you want him to, and there
are reasons he doesn’t do what you want.
He will spoil you from time to time, but he is wise with
his expenses; he spends money only when he needs to.
You are going notice how he gets excited like a child
when it comes to certain things and learn to hear giggle
in his laugh.
You’ll find out his favorite movie and he’ll make you sit
through it; I know I couldn’t without falling asleep.
You’ll notice how he loves watching movies and how he
might do it more than going out.
You will see him out drunk and he’ll get mad sometimes.
He has a temper, as I’m sure you have noticed, so don’t
take it personally. When he storms off, let him go and
trust he’ll always come back with a smile and his bright
blue eyes that make you look away.
When he falls in love with you, let it not scare you when
he cries because that’s the one thing that triggers those
emotions in him. When he falls in love with you, you’ll
notice you sleep better at night, and when it rains, his
touch simply will vanish every fear.
When that happens, you’ll almost look forward to simple
things, such as walks because he’ll reach for your hand
and you’ll blush because no glove has ever fit it so well.
He’ll do whatever you ask of him and you’ll rarely fight.
He doesn’t like advertising things like relationships and
feelings, so don’t expect that of him, just know he does
love you. He may not think of you at every moment, but
you’ll cross his mind often enough.
He has bigger dreams than he is confident enough to
believe in, so it’s your job to tell him every day how
handsome he is and how smart he is and that he is
capable of it all. He won’t believe you, but don’t stop
saying it.
He’ll make you see the world in a new light, and you’ll
start questioning things you never knew. He can’t cook,
so don’t expect him to. You’ll find yourself laughing at
his little catchphrases, and if you do something he
doesn’t like, one eyebrow will raise and he’ll look at you
without blinking.
When you two are out, he’ll watch you the whole time
and it’ll seem like you are the only one in the room.
When you dance, it’ll seem perfect. Let none of this scare
you and love him the way he deserves. He’ll tell you
about the past and his mistakes, so it’s your job to take
his hand and let him know you’re not judging him.
He is a better person because of all of that, and he’s
found you because of failed relationships in the past. I
hope you love him the way he deserves and I hope he
loves you as deeply as I thought he did me. I hope he’s
honest with you in a way he never was with me, but most
of all, I hope he gives you the fairytale I thought would
once be my life.
Also: Remember that I don’t dislike you, but if I’m being
honest, I am jealous of you. I have found acceptance, but
I’m also happy someone else gets a chance to experience
what I did.
I hope one day I can properly meet you. Like I said
before, we have a connection that no one else can say
they have and I’m sure you are a wonderful person. He
looks at who a girl is first before falling in love with
her appearance. It’s a rare quality in a man.
I only ask one thing of you: Don’t hurt him the way he
hurt me. I believe in karma and I believe people get what
they send out to the world, but I never wish that pain
upon anyone, especially him. You are dating the man of
our dreams and I truly mean it when I say I hope it all
works out for you.
Sincerely, The Other Girl

Wow. This is some piece. I wonder why you guys broke up.

This right here is the shiiiit... I'm a fan of interestingly long write ups, and I found this ever sooo interesting.. It sounds weird though, but the personality of the guy here resonates with mine so much, apart from the drinking.... and maybe the temper..very nice post @Op...big ups!!

naija ladies, changing men like sanitary pads since 1960

...hmmmm...i wonder why you guys are not together anylonger....
...You still love him, he might still loves u too....He might be in another relationship just to get you out of his mind.....
....I believe things can still work out for good....Maybe you guys need to try harder....or mayb just let go
