You were one of the best friends I’ve ever had. I know it was short-lived, but you have no idea how much you meant to me. I really loved you, and sometimes I just wish I could have known if you felt the same way. I’m with the love of my life now, and I’m glad you and I never had a relationship. But you understood me in a way very, very few people do, and for that I will always be grateful. You made me feel more in the span of four months that I felt in a relationship that lasted years, and that scared me. I wish we could still be friends, but our dynamic was so turbulent, and I’m in a place in my life where I need peace now. I’m sorry I hurt you, but I just couldn’t go through that pain again. I wouldn’t change a thing now, but I wish you knew how much I cared back then. I wish you knew I cried while texting you relationship advice. I wish you knew I thought about you every second of every day. I hope you’re doing okay. -M
