Dear Replacement, There are a few things I think you should know, as you are now the object of his affection. 

Don’t be surprised at how quickly you’ll fall for him, and don’t feel bad when you do.

There will be times where he will get anxious and want something done right away, and there is nothing wrong with gently telling him to wait. Don’t think of it as a problematic characteristic, it’s endearing that he wears his emotions on his sleeve.

His love for you is so strong and blinding, it may feel overbearing at times, but it is the greatest gift in the world. It’s your job to remind him of the others in his life that he loves, like his sister and the city he fights for. It’s not that he doesn’t love them, but his love for you is just that overwhelming.

He’ll tell you about the past and his mistakes, and you have to listen, be there for him, and let him know you’re not judging him. Never make him doubt himself and remind him who he is at his core: a good person, your words mean more to him than you could ever imagine.

His love for you is so great that he will go to lengths to make sure you are safe, even something he will regret. Try your best to stop him from doing something he will regret, if you can, and, if you don’t get to him in time, this is when he will need you most. It will be your job to be his anchor, his reason, and his home that he can come running to. Remind him he is human, guide him to forgive himself, and tell him you still love him and that he is not a monster.

He has bigger dreams than he is confident enough to believe in, so it’s your job to tell him every day how wonderful he is, how smart he is, and that he is capable of it all. He won’t believe you, but don’t stop saying it. There may come a time that you think he is gone, maybe forever, but know that he’s never gone, he always comes back.

When he falls in love with you, you’ll notice you sleep better at night, that his touch is like rain to your skin, and the way his eyes meet your’s melts your sorrows. You are dating the man of our dreams. All I ask is that you don’t hurt him the way he hurt me.

Sincerely, The Other Girl

Dear Replacement, 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 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 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 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. 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 spoil you from time to time, but he is wise with his expenses; he spends money only when 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. You’ll find out his favorite movie and he’ll make you sit through it; I know I couldn’t without falling asleep. You’ll notice how he loves 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, as I’m sure you have noticed, so don’t take it personally. When he storms off, let him go and trust he’ll always come back with a 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. When he falls in love with you, you’ll notice you sleep better at night, and when it rains, his touch simply will vanish every fear. When that happens, you’ll almost look forward to simple things, such as walks because 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 and you’ll rarely fight. 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. 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. 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. When you two are out, he’ll watch you the whole time and it’ll seem like you are the only one in the room. When you dance, it’ll seem perfect. 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 he’s honest with you in a way he never was 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. 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. It’s a rare quality in a man. 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

I sent him a handwritten snail mail letter.

It should reach him in 3 months or less. 

I wrote it on September 1st, 2014, and tried as best as I could to be unbiased. 

Included in the envelope is a pokemon stamp, and a Bulbasaur nanoblock. (He likes grass type pokemon the most.) 

In it, I wished him success in his job search, and success in his game development. I also told him not to procrastinate in the game art. 

And of course, I wished him happiness in his love life, and I hope he'll find someone who can make him happier than I ever could. I told him that I hope he can cuddle and give her kisses, and that his future soulmate would be the one to give him the little kids he's always hoped to have. 

I also sent him an envelope addressed to "Your Soulmate". The envelope is in a yellow colour, and I'm pretty sure he'll just brush it off as just another colour for another thing. I picked yellow because that is the colour that represents friendship.

In the letter to her, again, I tried to write as unbiased as possible, something close to this one. I told her to take care of him, because I know he needs someone to support him especially since he's shy and sometimes quiet. But in it, I also told her that once I come to know that he is dating her, I will cease all communication with him on all social media and the like.

If Yellow Rose reads it, he's probably gonna feel like I'm a creeper who can't move on, but you know.. maybe it's for the better. Maybe I can move on a lot easier if he hates me. 

On the letter to Yellow Rose, I did tell him that I leave it to his discretion, whether or not he wants to read it, hide it or dispose it, but I hoped he would give it to her to read one day, 2 weeks after they've dated. 

I know I'm only going to regret my decision of sending all that to him later. I know I'm going to hate myself for making him hate me. I know that once he reads them all and asks me about it, I'll delete my tumblr, facebook, skype and line accounts. 

But for some reason right now, it all seems like the right decision.

I've been trying so long to write her an unbiased letter on all his qualities, and I think I've found the perfect example. I will send her the letter, inside of the envelope I'll be sending to him for Christmas.
