Happy birthday to an ex-cellent ex-boyfriend! Our relationship may have ended, but I want you to know that you’re among the gold standard of boyfriends!
Sometimes I find myself missing having you as a boyfriend as you are a genuinely kind and sweet guy, but then I quickly realise how annoying you can be too!
The saying goes it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, and that couldn’t be any more accurate when it comes to you, my dear!
I’m grateful for the time we shared and the memories we made! Happy birthday to you today!
I thought about writing you a poem or something touching on your special day today, but all you really need to know is that I truly value your friendship and the fact you are still a part of my life.
