I'm not sure how to start this letter, but I feel we need to talk. I've been thinking about us a lot lately. Things used to be so great. It was like we were made for each other. I mean, everyone said it was perfect. I really thought we would be together forever. But then things changed. I feel like you started taking me for granted. You just started to do whatever you wanted and never asked me about anything or how I felt. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I don't want to hurt you, but I think it's time we broke up. I mean, it's not going to work. I need some time by myself to see what it is like on my own. I'm sorry things didn't work out but I do think you are the one to blame. I'm sorry, but 'us' is over.
