Hi [Name], I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately on how things ended between us. For a while, I held onto a lot of bitterness, and I’m sure you did too. But I’ve realized that holding onto that anger is only hurting me and blocking any path to peace. I want you to know that I forgive you for [mention a specific event, or "the way things unfolded"]. More importantly, I’ve worked on forgiving myself for my own mistakes. I’m not sending this to start a debate; I’m sending it because I want us both to be able to look back on our time together with a sense of peace rather than regret. I still think you’re a good person, and I’d like to be able to wish you well without any "weight" attached to it. I hope you’re doing great. Best, [Your Name]
