[okay, i'm crazy.]

dear lad who is the cutest and nicest person in the world and who i may have a crush on,
you're perfect in every single way. i've loved you ever since i met you. and i know you don't like me that way, but we're close friends. i know who you like, though you may not admit it, but we laugh about it. you are cute. you are fit, dare i say. i've waited for you to be single. the first time, before you went out with the girl who sticks up for me, we had great conversations. and even whilst you were off out we stayed close. dare i say, i was the one who started that relationship. when you broke up i thought that i would have a chance, but i didn't. it was only the next day you were dating the girl i've just met who is actually quite nice, and after that you started hating me. i don't know why. we never spoke anymore and that really made me feel depressed. i love you, and i can't deny it. i've loved you for ages, but never thought of it as much, but as i'm typing this i've realised how much i really do love you. now you've broken up with the girl i've just met, i feel like i have a chance again. i probably don't. we've started to get close again and can have that laugh we used to do. i miss them, i really do. sometimes you see me staring at you, and i just awkwardly look away. sometimes i see you staring at me, or maybe the girl behind me. fingers crossed it's me. thanks for being there, i love you. okay.
from, the person who's just realised how much they really love you and how long they have.

dear k,
it honestly hurts me when you say I'm your best friend. You never hang out with me and you hang out with A all the time! Just ... stop, please?
- lucas

dear a,
you don't know how much I like you. You're amazing, but I hate our fights. I want to apologize, but you never give me the chance anymore. It breaks my heart knowing you're just fine with out me, or so you say.

dear l,
I miss you. Please come back.

Dear PV,

Can't you just admit when you're wrong?
Can't you see you're hurting me?
When they said the words don't hurt, they lied
You act like everything's fine
You smile and say it was no big deal
And though I'm holding back the tears
I'm crying hard inside
Why can't you just stop having that attitude?
Look, I'm sorry, but it's not all my fault!
Can't we just be friends again?
Make things like they used to be?
Why is everything so complicated?
Is their no kindness left in the world?
Which is the true you?
The one that slashes my heart open with words, or the one that laughs and makes me feel like everything's going to be fine?
What's changed?
We all have our bad days, but I've been pretty nice to you
All you've done is treat me like dirt
I put up with it every day, hoping things will get better
But when you think you're always right
It makes people mad
I'm not the only one who doesn't like it when people act like they know everything
And I really want to stay your friend
But what am I supposed to do when you whisper secrets behind my back?
When you use my other friends against me?
What happened?
What's gone wrong?
Can't you see I'm crying inside?
Please just give me a chance
What did I do wrong?

Dear PE teacher,
You know that I'm not a sporty type of person, but I try to do as much as I can even though it may not look like it because I'm usually just standing in the field acting nervous. I'm always so nervous and scared on the field I don't think straight because I'm naturally a pessimistic. Yeah, and it takes a while for me to get the hang of everything, but when I just start to get the hang of it, we do something entirely different and way out of my comfort zone. That's like putting me in the forest then the desert two days later. Now, we're going to play real football next week and I'm really nervous. I was never a help to the team at all because I could barely catch or throw which are the main parts to the game. I'm going to let everyone down and... -sigh- I don't want to talk about it anymore... It's always on top of my head every single day.

No. Mine are off limits. Get your own.

Dear C,
I think I might be falling for you.

Sincerely,

Dear C,

When we first met, I could tell you and I would be amazing friends. We had the same ideas and opinions, we liked the same things, we listened to the same music, and you were supportive of me and my queer-ness. You were funny, intelligent, had absolutely gorgeous eyes [when your hair wasn't covering them], and most importantly you were like me. You embody everything I find attractive in other human beings, except your occasional tendency to be hostile. Then again, I have those tendencies too, so I can't really complain. I know I already told you this, but the first time I saw you I thought you were my ex-boyfriend. You guys look almost identical...Except you're shorter, you have a better smile, and you have fluffy hair, which I find very cute and attractive and stuff. XD It kind of bums me out that we don't live closer, you live 2 hours away from me. I only wish I had met you sooner.

One thing I never expected, though, was to fall for you. You were a great guy and all, but you didn't seem interested in being anything more than just friends. I should have noticed the way you acted jealous when I hung out with your brother instead of you, and the way you were quick to let all your friends know that he and I most certainly did not like each other that way and that we weren't going out. I also should have noticed, back when I told you I had a girlfriend, how you seemed a little less than happy, and how when I told you we broke up you actually seemed a little relieved rather than sympathetic. From the way we were flirting last time we talked, though, I can tell you at least have a little bit of interest in me. Hopefully, you feel the same way about me as I do you, and I'll be able to tell you how I feel soon and we can go out. I don't know. Maybe one day I'll be able to tell you about how I talk about you all the time to my friends, how you're my everything and how I wish you lived closer to me so we could see each other in person. I want to tell you how much I miss you, and I want to be able to tell the entire world that you're mine, and only mine. I want to be able to brag to all my friends about what an amazing boyfriend I have and how he treats me like a queen and makes me feel like the most amazing person on the planet. I want to show you off, let everyone know how you make my day just by telling me all those stupid anime jokes and chatting with me about the zombie apocalypse. I wish you could see me, I wish I had videos of every single time I talk about you to my friends. They've gotten so used to hearing your name and hearing me talk about how great you are that now they just roll their eyes and smile, like, "Here they go again." My ex-girlfriend keeps asking why I don't just ask you out already and threatens to get your number from my phone and ask you out for me.

I wish I could tell you all this in person, and let you know that you're not just another guy to me and you're not just a really good friend. I know they say that when someone calls you "bro", you've been friendzoned for life...But really, you're the only guy I have ever called "bro" and the only guy who will get called bro. You are my bro, and that title is special and never, ever used for anyone else. You're funny, and sweet, and amazing, and I was so shocked at your response when I told you I was genderfluid. No one, not even my LGBT+ friends, has ever been that accepting of me. Ever. Just...wow. Thank you SO much, you have no idea how great that made me feel. If I'm ever near Albany, the first thing I'm going to do is call you up and ask where we can meet. Till then, keep watching anime, playing video games, and making babies cry. XD

You're amazing.

Sincerely,
Red



Dear ex-boyfriend,

Please stop trying to convince me you're better than my crush, because you and I both know you're not. You've done nothing but try to ruin my life since we broke up, and you can't expect me to just come back and do it all over again after 2 years of being treated like I'm worthless by someone who used to tell me he loved me every day. You can't expect me to go through all that, to put in the time and effort and feeling that I used to have only to get the same, heartbreaking result. No. Just, no. I'm not doing this. I know you've finally realized how amazing of a person I really am, and now you're jealous because C recognized it before you and became my friend, and later, my crush, but you can't bring me down anymore. I refuse to give in to your "Oh I still have feelings for you." ...No, you don't. You don't care about or like anyone but yourself. You're stuck-up, spoiled, and you'd only date a girl if she would "put out", so to speak. I'm not sorry for being asexual and refusing to do those kinds of things with you, and that's probably why we broke up. I think the only thing I'm sorry for is that I fell for you in the first place. I should have looked harder. Noticed all the little red flags going up. Seen how selfish you really were. But no, I didn't, because it really is as they say. Love is blind. I did love you, and I never wanted to lose you, but in the end you ripped my heart out, broke every promise you ever made, lied to me about everything, and told me you didn't love me, just like you said you wouldn't. And I'm not going back to that, because unlike you, C treats me like a human being, is accepting of who I am, and doesn't try to make me fit his standards of perfection.

Please, stop flirting with me, stop trying to get me to like you again, and stop trying to act like nothing's happened between us in the past 2 years. I know you talk to lots of girls. I know you're a liar, and that you couldn't tell the truth to save your life. I know you're an underage alcoholic and that despite this you stand up in church and preach to everyone in the youth group about how we should follow Jesus. The fact is, I know too much about you now to even consider dating you. In order to get my attention, you would basically have to go to rehab and then come out the polar opposite of the person you are now. Even then, you would just barely be worthy of something resembling my respect. Another thing? Don't mistake my kindness and civility for attraction to you. I am a very forgiving person and I will be civil to anyone whether I have respect for them or not. That doesn't mean I like you or that I want to go out with you, so stop trying to make me jealous by mentioning all the girls you've gone out with and how practically every female in school is falling at your feet, because guess what? I DON'T CARE. I have someone else now, someone who treats me better than you ever have, and I'm not trading that for your lies and hypocrisy. You can have every girl on the planet as far as I'm concerned, but you will never have me. So just go ahead and cry me a river, build me an effing bridge and get tf over it. You don't have me, and you never will again.

I hope you find something else to waste your time on,
Red
