Dear Lam,
I think it's better for both of us if we go our separate ways for now...
I'm not doing this because I hate you or because I'm tired of you. It's actually the opposite. I care about you so much that I don't want my presence to make your life more complicated. You're going to get married, and you have a whole future ahead of you. I don't want to be someone who holds you back.
I've also realized that I need to find my own happiness. I can't keep holding on to you forever. You're not my girlfriend, you're my best friend, and I have to accept that. You deserve to live your life without feeling like you have to carry me with you.
If you asked me whether I want you in my life, my heart would say yes. But because I truly want you to be happy, my answer has to be no. I want you to be with someone you love, someone who loves you just as deeply, treats you with all the love and kindness you deserve, and sees you the way I've always seen you.
Please don't think this means I'm erasing you from my life. I'm not going to unfollow you, block you, or pretend we never knew each other. I just think it's time for us to walk different paths.
If one day you need me or you need my help, you can always call me and I'll answer if I can. You can always text me too, and I'll reply whenever I'm able. You know my phone number and my social media, so you know where to find me.
And if one day I don't reply to you, then it probably means something bad happened to me, or I'm not in this life anymore.
Take care of yourself, Lam. I really hope you have a beautiful life and find all the happiness you deserve.
