I've dragged this out for as long as I could have because I love you and I wanted for us to have a fair chance. I don't want this to end in a way where we have to resent each other, and I don't want to prolong what I know is already coming. You're a wonderful and beautiful person. I've had many happy days with you and I will always cherish everything that you've done. 

I just know that you're not the one. The older I get the more I realize I'm running out of time, and I don't want to waste anymore time. This isn't a bad thing. We are just a combination of two very different people, and that's completely fine. You've done nothing wrong. The last thing I want is for you to change any aspect of yourself to make me happy. But I know what true love and happiness feels like.. and right now I feel like I'm just fooling myself into thinking that I'm truly happy when I'm really just safe and comfortable. It's not at all fair to you and I want you to know that you can go so far in your life if you just focus on yourself. Maybe this will be a realization for you to get your shit together and finally follow your dreams.

For now, I have a lot on my plate. I need to take care of myself before I worry over anyone else. 

I hope you understand. 

I love you.
