To The Girlfriend

Dear the girlfriend of the man I have been sleeping with,

I want you to know I sincerely apologize for my actions. Sleeping with your man was an irrational and frankly, idiotic decision, one that I deeply regret. I had no reason to fuck with your man, one that I knew was yours from the start.

You do not know me, you do not want to, and you possibly never will. You will also never see this letter, because it is not one I wish to enlighten you on. I am more than happy to walk away from this situation hoping you never see the scars, and never have to know what has happened behind your back. You may assume something happened, you may guess he's talking to other women, and you're right. I was not the only one, and that hurt, but I cannot imagine what it would do to you, the girlfriend. Commitments were made to you that I could not ever wish would be made to me. Commitments were promised I am sure by this man, who does not deserve someone like yourself.... 

Who the fuck did I think I was? I have no answers, I have no excuses. I just apologize profusely for what I have done to you, whether you ever know the pain you are not feeling or not.

I wish you the best, and the best is better than the man you're in love with.

Find yourself a loyal man, because I promise you, this is not him.

All the best, and only the best,

Kathlyn Powell.
