dear best friend,

i’ve liked you since the day i saw you. but i never told you, bc i felt that if i did i would wound up acting like my crazy middle school self. but then you had to go back to her. i just don’t get what you seen in her? ok. fine. she’s beautiful. but she blows you off, answers when you call but doesn’t hold a convo, she doesn’t care. you call me in the middle of the night complaining that you can’t do it anymore: the one-sided phone convos, the blow offs etc. you are pissed as hell when you call me. (it’s the MIDDLE of the NIGHT) i try to calm you down but you never listen. you have always had a mind of your own. you went from her, to another girl (to make her jealous), back to her, to another girl (to make her jealous again), back to her. i’ve been with you every step of the way. i listened to you complain bout everything: her, the way she didn’t talk, when she was happy/sad (i swear she’s bipolar), when you were angry at her for blowing you off,…etc. i don’t know if i can do it anymore. i fell for you already and no one was there to catch me. i dated your best friend. that did nothing for me. i didn’t even like him. i’m tired of you, i’ve always put others above mine and i just want you to happy, so i don’t care if “we” never happen. just cherish her and be happy. that’s all i’ve wanted for you. if she makes you happy then so be it.

sincerely,
burnt out best friend
