Dear Someone,

I didn't like you. Ever. You were always the one I would kill first if murder was suddenly legal. You were always the one that I kept distant.

Remember the saying? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I've always hated that quote. For me, I did the opposite. I shut everyone out. Even my 'friends'.

But then there was you.

You were the one I waited for. You were the one I watched for. You were the one that I slowed down or sped up for. You were the one that I wished for. You were the one that I played for. You were the one that I breathed for. You were the one I lived for.

But the thing was, you never showed any signs of mirroring these. You had your eye on the school słut, as did just about every other guy in that grade. Therefore, I shut the feelings away, deep inside.

No one will see them, is what I told myself.

And no one did. Before I could get under your skin, you killed yourself. Plain and simple.

I talked to you last, and I was the one that probably topped it off with insults of my own. Yeah, I should say sorry and all that "I didn't think you were going to kill yourself," and whatnot.

I guess... I am sorry.
