<human>: I actually broke up with her (about 5 months ago) because I knew I wasn't treating her right... I kinda lost what I stood for, knew I needed to change, knew she needed someone better, so I ended it.  She was crushed.  She tried to get me back, but I couldn't do it because I hadn't fixed anything (I knew we would have had the same problems).  It took me two months to really make some huge changes and I advanced myself to where I want to be.  I thought about her every single day and I contacted her about 3 months ago... she said she moved on (another guy).  I have been doing little things here and there to try and show her how much I care and that I would love the chance to cherish her again.  I have been trying for 3 months now... I seriously do love her and want the absolute best for her.  This very morning, I get an e-mail from her (VERY EXCITING!).  In it she says:  "Why me?  You were so certain before that you did not want to be with me.  Why now?  What is it about me that makes you feel like you have to be with me?"

I clearly have sooo much to say... I was just wondering what some of you all may say in response to this e-mail (I really want to be able to love her and be with her again).  I would really appreciate y'all helping me and any inspiration to go from.  What would y'all say to your SO or someone you are trying to get back? Thanks so much, everyone
