Dear Nina,
Happy belated birthday.
I have not contacted you this year. I decided to call you on your birthday. However, I couldn't get you on the phone. The phone number was not active. My mind was immediately thinking the worst of you again. Maybe, you have finally blocked me from your phone and your social media.
I posted a birthday message on your FB wall. I didn't send any message to your Messenger.
Turned out, you were out of the country. You replied 'Thank you!' to my message. To my surprise, you actually checked my Messenger to see if I drop any messages (that tiny button invention is a blessing, haha!)
I have to admit, I have done you wrong. Nothing in reality, but I have always jumped to the worst conclusion every time I tried to get to you and failed. In reality, had I been the one breaking it between us, I might not want to be in contact with you either. Part of me still want to talk to you because we never really spoken about our breakup after that 3-sentence-break-up-email that you sent to me. Part of me just want to blame.
I hope some day, when the day is as good as today, I get to tell you directly how good I am feeling about myself now. Things have been working really well for me. I really hope things are working well for you too. I also have a new guy who is treating me really well, just like how you have hoped for me. I am still in an interracial relationship - I don't think I am made for a Malay partner ^^;;;
Never in my life have I thought I'd have a Japanese guy as a partner. You made that possible for me. You were then the best partner I could ever hope for. I hope I was the same to you too. Distance has definitely grow us apart, but when we were together, it was magical. You have tried to learn about my religion, and for that I thank you. There were so many difficult things for us to overcome, and it is unfortunate that we could not make things happen and have our version of 'happily ever after' together. However, our relationship is still my longest commitment yet, and I am forever thankful to you for the 2.5 years we spent together.
We're the same age for the next 9 months :)
Happy birthday, Nina <3
