Write a Letter You Cannot Send

Dear Sister
I can not believe you were hiding this! You hide so many things from your family. You tell me about some of them sometimes and ask for my advice. I always tell you to forget it but you never do! You go on with it and keep it a secret. I keep telling you you're going to get caught but you still don't listen to me and now look what happened! You're hiding right now because you're afraid of mother now that she knows. D:
sincerly
your older sister

Dear Wirtanen,

I know it can be hard to be antisocial, stuck in college with a bunch of arrogant and judgemental idiots who don't like you or anyone. I know it's hard to live with depression when you spend half the nights of every week feeling like the lowest, most disgusting of creatures. I know I just met you a bit over a week ago, but I don't want you to kill yourself. You threatened to, pretended like it was goodbye, and I cried. Yes, I cried. I didn't want to stop you - what sort of cruel person makes someone who hates this world stay? - but I begged you to keep talking to me. I've never had someone I care about die, and I don't want it to happen now. Please be safe, because I think you're smart, handsome, funny, and a blessing to the world with your creative and intelligent mind. I know I'm lucky to have you.

Don't leave. Please.
Sincerely, Taylor

Dear Kyle,

Please just leave me alone! Its for the best I'm moving on, I have even fallen for someone else. He is a sweet amazing guy who doesn't push me or rush things. We are happy just being together. Yes, I once loved you but not any more. Its your fault we aren't together. It's not ok to love me but like my best friend to the point where you flirt with her right in front of me. Its not alright to lie to me on our anniversary and go drinking and smoking with your friends. I broke it off and you moved away. End of story. Or so I thought. Just as my life settles back down, months after you left me and just as someone else takes interest in me suddenly your back. You move back and just expect me to fall right in with you again. I am not coming back, I don't care how much you shout or plead. I'm sorry. Its over.

Regards,
Nadia

Dear M...

I know the truth now,
I know who you are,
and I don't love you anymore,
It never was and never will be,
You don't know how you betrayed me,
and somehow you have everyone fooled.

I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner...You're sitting right next to me, yet you'll never see this.

Dear J,

You are my neighbor. You're my friend. And yet, ever since you moved next door in third grade, you've been something else, too. It was never really this... serious, until last year. You started acting differently; I mean, we're still totally at ease with each other, and we remain best friends, and yet... somethings changed. The way you look at me. The way we laugh together, making jokes about my brother. But when we started middle school... you went to a different, private school, while I went to this public school. Now, I only see you on weekends. I don't even have to courage to tell you that I like you, no, not that I like you, that I... never mind. Just like I'm sure you don't have the courage to tell me, how you feel. But it's okay. I know. I'm sure you know about me. But right now, I kind of just want to stay friends, you know? It'd be awkward, if we were more, I think. But maybe someday, in a couple years, you know?
A girl can dream.

Sincerely,
Your next door neighbor. You know who I am.

Dear Mom,

I am not the perfect child you wish I was. I cannot be good at everything, and the sooner you realize this -the better. You can only lay the blame on 'incompetent teachers' for so long. Understand? Maybe you should just listen to me, listen to my teachers, and listen to the whopping 68% on my report card. I suck in gym. Yeah, maybe I'm an amazing swimmer. Maybe I run 5k for a lark. But, that's where my athletic talents end. They don't teach running or swimming in our school, so I'll never have a chance to excel. DEAL WITH IT.
You'd think you'd be happy with my other grades. I know other parents would. Twelve marks above 90%? Four above 85%? That translates to 12 A+'s, and 4 A's. Not a single B. But, no, you'll never be satisfied until the 'incompetent teachers' give your 'perfect' daughter the 90% she deserves in gym.
You. Have. Never. Seen. Me. In. Gym. Class. Your assumptions are unfounded -you are voluntarily blind. Not a single one of the gym teachers I've had through school has managed to give me enthusiasm for gym. Could that many people be incompetent?
I think not.
No. The incompetent one is me, and the sooner you accept it, the better.

Dear Gunner;

I know you're sick, I realize that....but does that entitle you to flirt with me and send me those coy smilies? Hmmm.

You're lucky I'm rolling with it for now, but it's kinda cute that you do.

My dear M,

Dang boy, I love hearing the sound of your voice on the phone. I can't wait to see you again.

Love,

J
