1. You, you were the first man I felt passionate about. You were my best friend, I was wild in lust, and you were the worst possible thing for me. Thanks for showing me the rush.
2. And you, you were the first man to love me unconditionally, the first man to want to protect me. It was young love, but it was genuine. I’m sorry I couldn’t love you back the same way. Thanks for showing me what I deserve.
3. You broke my heart 300 different times in 300 different ways. I loved you and we didn’t even know it at the time. Thanks for showing me mutual sadness is not romantic, it’s just damaging.
4. You. You reminded me of the first. You made me excited and you were the first one to make me feel wanted again. What a shame you couldn’t be serious about us.
5. And you, you were wonderful but you were never what I wanted. We both knew it wouldn’t work. But thanks for making me feel cherished.
