Yes, I know the glass has shattered. You have every right to blame me for everything. You can call me whatever you want, you can even curse me to hell. I take full responsibility for everything because it is better to be hated for what I am than to be loved for what I am not.

There was nothing wrong between us, but suddenly things started going from bad to worse. Even today, I don’t know why we split.

It is said If you love somebody, set him free

If he comes back to you, he’s yours

If he doesn’t, he never was

I didn’t come back and neither did you.

Maybe all this happened because we were never meant to be for each other. In fact, maybe I didn’t deserve your love. Sometimes things don’t happen for a reason, they just happen. Sometimes we fail no matter how hard we try. All I can say is that in this case I’m the loser in every way, but maybe I deserve it.

You are a very good girl. You forgave me not once, but twice. But don’t do that a third time because I don’t deserve it, and I don’t want to be forgiven this time.

You’re an amazing girl. Our relationship ended because fate meant that for it. When all else is lost, the future still remains. I have tricked and deceived you many times. I gave you tears and pain, abandoned you and never cared to look back. I know you’re hurt. But wounds do heal. Life goes on. Forget me and move on with your life. I wish you all the success and happiness that life has to offer.
