Unsent Letter

"I love you." I know now that was such a lie.

You were always there for me. We were best friends. So what happened?

It's been three years. Three years since you last deemed me worthy of your attention. Three years since you last said those three words, "I love you."

Three years is a long time. I'm not the same person I was. I'm not quite as young and naive, not as blindly devoted as I was.

Still, I can't tell you how many times I've cried, sobbing into my pillow so nobody would hear, because you hurt me. You threw me away like last week's leftovers, and upgraded to somebody new.

I wish, more than anything, that I could go back in time, so that things can be the way they used to be. I miss you so, so much, but you obviously don't miss me.

I know that what we had is long gone; nothing is left of it but the shattered bits that still pierce my heart whenever I think of you. I miss you, but I've figured out how to make it through the moments when I feel your absence the most.

I'm sure this won't be the last unsent letter I'll write to you. I just wish you knew that I still love you, and I wish that you would come back. But I know you won't.
