Dear Anonymous, There is a lot I would like to say here. Words I never said. Thoughts I never spoke. Doubts I never voiced, hopes I never admitted. It's taken me weeks to write this and none of this can sum up how I feel. But maybe that's good. It means I care. Live and forget, right? Nothing lasts forever. But I was so happy. In a world that sometimes feels so bleak and hopeless, happiness is fleeting. Pain is easier to remember. Joy is hard to hold onto. That's why it's so precious, right? Do you remember? Do you remember the sun and the waves and our laughter? I'm sure you do, but do you remember them the way I do? Sometimes I wonder. But no matter how you envision them, I always think of them the same. Happy. Whether we were mocking each other or messing around or downright serious...I can feel happiness in all of those memories. A joy that so many crave that I have been so blessed to receive. I would love to relive those memories and let my imagination wander off. I want to laugh with you again. But I know from experience I can't hang onto those memories forever. And I hate that fact, but it's the truth. I miss you. I've said it. I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. I...don't know what to say now. That's really all I needed to say. All I wanted to say. At the same time, there is something more, something else I need to say...yet as much as I try, I can't put it into words. By the time I see you again, I'm sure it will no longer be so. A year is both shorter than imaginable yet longer than explainable. Time is relative after all, and all things fade in time. We were the best of friends and we had the best of times. I miss you. ~ J

Dear Anon, I understand your feelings but please spell my darn name right. -AL

Dear Anonymous, (Yes, these are my true feelings to a real person.) I hate you. As simple as that. For 13 years, you've made my life miserable, unbearable. 13 years of my life, you've put me down. You don't respect me. You barely even tolerate me. I've never really thougth of myself as a person who hold grudges against people for long. I forgive people easily. I can't do it anymore. You've relied on me for 13 years to forgive you, each and every time. I've forgiven you one too many times, two too many, three, four, five. I've never heard a single apology directed to me come from your lips. I can't do this anymore. Because if I forgive you, you'll just take advantage of me again, and I can't let that happen. Even as you read this, you won't care. I've known you for too long to know you don't care. No. No more. No more of this childish nonsense. I've had enough of you and your lies. Each time I've forgiven you, each time I've allowed you to build your shaky building of trust -- it topples. My heart does know to steel itself, to become untouchable, cold, unforgiving. All because of you. I can't allow myself to be broken any further. No more. So no more forgiving anymore. ~ Cindy
