To the girl that will replace me:

There are a couple of things that I thought I should tell you. I learned these while I was him. First of all, don't be scared if he gives you much more love on you than you had expected. Don't be surprised if he treats you much better than any other guy you have ever met. And don't be surprised that he will actually listen carefully. Also, you should know that he remembers everything you say even if it may not seem like it. He's hurt easily, even though you can't tell. If you do hurt him, then you'll have to pay the price of seeing the broken look in his deep brown eyes, and watch the light in them fade. But if this happens, a kiss and an "I love you" can heal anything. And please, don't say "I love you" to him unless you really mean it, nothing hurts him more than someone who doesn't really care. Sometimes, he won't tell you what he is thinking, but just know that he is protecting you and if you ever feel that something isn't right, just look into his eyes and you will be able to see into him. You can see everything he is feeling, everything he is thinking, everything that isn't right with him. He won't ever try to hurt you, because he just isn't that way. So please don't hurt him because if you do, I don't think I could ever forgive you. I don't think there could ever be a worse feeling in the world than knowing that you have the boy that I love and knowing that you hurt him. He deserves better, the best. You should know that if you two ever get into a fight, just make sure you pick only the ones worth fighting for. Though he may act all tough, once he's given you his heart, he will begin to open up to you and his sillyness will make your heart smile... in a way that words cannot explain. Don't hold a tight grip on him, let him go and be part of the world and experience new things. You will find that he is busy and that he is so very independent. Sometimes he will need his space.. but don't worry. He'll always make time for you and even when you're not around you'll be in his thoughts. You will find that he isn't like any other guy you have met, so please don't take him for granted. Remember, he likes not wearing a shirt, he loves to play Call of Duty, Time with his friends, he doesn't mind cuddling all night or his arm getting numb, don't forget that he loves cookies or just any pastries, he loves his family and even though he won't admit it, he really does like to be surprised. He is less tough than he may appear, you just have to take the time and let him bring down his guard. He is so sweet and so amazing, and know that if you ever leave him... you will break his heart apart, the same way that my heart breaks apart as I sit here writing this to you. He is going to be an extremely successful business man one day.. and won't ever let you give up on your dreams either. He doesn't mind you hanging out with him and his friends. Most of all, he can never get enough kisses and pay attention to how your hand will fit perfectly into his and when it does, it seems as if nothing in the world could hurt you.. because he is there. And when he puts his arms around you and tells you that you are the girl he loves, you will know there isn't any guy in the world better than him. Don't ever let him go. You will regret doing so... I promise, you will.

Yours Truly, Joey
