We had some really great times and I’ll never forget that. Sometimes I miss the hell out of you — I’m only human, after all. But let’s get one thing clear: just because I miss you doesn’t mean I’d ever take you back.
- I miss the good times, not the bad. I miss the fun we used to have. I miss the way you made me laugh. I miss thinking that you were the one person I could count on. I don’t miss the fights, though. I don’t miss the way you made me feel insecure or like I was never enough. I miss the good times, but they definitely weren’t worth the bad.
- I miss the old you but I don’t like who you’ve become. Sometimes I still wish we could be those two kids who fell in love so many years ago, but we’re not those people anymore. You’re not going back to the boy I fell in love with, that much is clear. This new you is here to stay and you’re not who I want in my life.
- I can forgive you but I can’t forget. I’ll forgive you for everything you’ve done so that I can move on but I won’t forget the way you treated me. I won’t forget the way you kept me on the hook or the way you made me dead last on your list of priorities. I won’t forget how you made me feel like I was nothing. I can forgive it all, but if I forget it then I’ll never learn and I might make the same mistake again.
- I know I deserve better. You treated me like crap and I’d have to be crazy to put myself through that all over again. When I was with you, my self-esteem was at an all-time low, but now I have the confidence to hold out for the man I deserve. Going back to you would be settling and we both deserve better than that.
- Missing you is a weakness… But my strength is refusing to take you back. I can admit I miss you sometimes but I’ll never give into that fleeting feeling. When I’m down on my luck, I look back to my last moment of comfort. You used to comfort me and I miss that on the bad days. Tomorrow is a new day, though, and on better days, I know I’m so much better off without you.
- I want what I thought we had. Now I want that with someone else, though. I want a man who feels lucky to be with me. I want a man who’s head over heels in love with me and makes me so grateful every single day that I found him. That man is out there, but he definitely isn’t you.
- I miss having a boyfriend. I shouldn’t want to be with you just because I don’t have anyone else or just because I don’t want to be single. What I really miss is the comfort of having a partner by my side. I want that again, and sometimes I might reminisce about when that man was you. Thankfully, I’m smart enough to know the difference between missing you and missing being in a relationship in general.
- I don’t miss you all the time. Just sometimes. Most of the time when I have my head on straight I remember what a jerk you really were. Every once in a while, though, I’m still fooled by your smile and I’m charmed into missing you. Nevertheless, there’s one thing I’m sure of: I’ll never take you back.
