To The Girl Who Replaced Me, Please Take Care Of Him: My [EDITED] Version
Disclaimer: I did not write this entirety (credits to Kirsten Corley and her article in Elite Daily). However, do know that add-ons are mine, just to make it more applicable, in my context. Here it goes...
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 *not 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 all 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 roller coaster ride 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, at least not as often as before. 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 may spoil you from time to time, but he is wise with his expenses; he spends money only when he needs to, or at least thinks 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, that laugh.
You’ll find out his favorite movie and he’ll make you sit through it, mostly with his adorable sister; I know I couldn’t without falling asleep. You’ll notice how he loves likes 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 this distinctive pride, as I’m sure you have noticed, so don’t take it personally. When he storms off walks ahead of you whenever you two are supposedly walking side by side, let him go and trust he’ll always come back stop and wait for you to catch up with a silly 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; that is, when you scare him off with the idea of you leaving at least. When he falls in love with you, you’ll notice you sleep better at night, and when it rains he feels like it, he'll spontaneously his touch you, which simply will vanish every fear of yours that he might not be into you that much.
When that happens, you’ll almost look forward to simple things, such as walks because he’ll tell you things, stories you'd always wish to hear, and when he feels like it, 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, as long as it's reasonable and highly justifiable, mostly, and you’ll rarely fight, often debate though. 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, at least once or twice.
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.  just don't overdo it or it'll get into his head.Â
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 he'll tease you about until you finally stop.
When you two are out, he’ll watch you the whole time when you least expect it, and it’ll seem like you are the only one in the room. There will be times that he'll look at other girls though, which he does often. It might hurt a little, but he'll appreciate it if, instead of you getting jealous, you'll look at them with him. When you dance, he might tease you. But when he dances, it’ll seem perfect. Silly, but perfect, and it'll make you laugh like you never did before. 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 know he’s honest with you in a way he never was has ever been 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, and even more.
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, but her personality makes him fall in love. It’s a rare quality in a man, or at least I think.
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"
P.S. What I said before might not be as applicable as it is now that he's with you. You see, when we parted ways, he pledged to himself, and with me, that the next girl he'll commit with shall be the luckiest girl he's ever been with because now, he knew better - he'll avoid the same mistakes and he'll be sure of everything. In short, he's at his best. Hence, I believe he is way way better now than he was when I was with him.Â
I know now that he'll be sure and true to his words when he assures you that he won't be just another repetition of your past, that he won't be just another guy who will go and tell you he loves you all the time, but has nothing to prove his words because he knows that 'talk is cheap.' Never doubt him when he tells you that he'll adore you more than you'll ever know, even if he don't tell you how much he deeply do, every minute, every second, even if at times it doesn't seem to show and even if you two argue and disagree on lots of things. Know that he is truthful when he says that you are his present, and his aspiring future. And most of all, believe it when he says you're the one he loves. As I've said, he knew better now and I know he really does, with you.
