Write a Letter You Cannot Send (Read the Rules!)

[Reefknot]

Dear W

I’ve only known you about a year and a half and yet you have become so important to me so quickly. You started flirting with me, and I got my hopes up that maybe, just maybe you felt the same way.. but then I realised You flirt with everyone and anyone that crosses your path, and that’s okay, that’s just how you go through life, most of the time it’s not even intended flirting. But it hurts. And I don’t know if i’ll ever have the courage to tell you how I feel before it’s too late. I hope I do

Dear GL

It’s been just over two years since we last spat words at each other. Nearly 10 years of being side by side, best friends, completely inseparable, and one day it all comes to a halt and you do not speak to me at all. You sit at another table, you ignore me when I’m sat next to you in geography, you refuse to tell me why you left. Barely four weeks before we were finished high school, could you not at least have kept being friends until the summer and then just ‘lost touch’ as we go our deprecate ways to uni? At least then we would have had happy memories about you with our last few months in school. I have never cried about you leaving me - perhaps deep down I expected us to drift apart.. just, I didn’t expect it to happen so abruptly. One day you are chatting to me like the usual, the next day, you are ignoring me and not answering me. Perhaps it was my fault, something I don’t know I did. I guess I’ll never know. Our last encounter, on the streets of our small little town, we ran into each other outside the library. You gave me a half hearted smile, and I gave one back. We carried on.

You left too. And I am more mad about it with you, even though you have since apologised (although it was lacking any reason) I had always been sceptical of you, I could always tell when you lied. I picked up on the things you would tell me and that would come up in conversation at a later date where you would then contradict what you had told me previously. I was no as gullible as you probably thought I was. We had been friends since you moved here in 2005, we were half way through or first year of primary school. We had been so close and you threw that out the window. I have no more to say to you

Dear A_ _ _ _ _

Wow :I
It's only been 17 days and I feel like I've not gotten to where I should be. I don't think it's enough time. I don't know why I'm writing this on chicken smoothie, haha... Er, anyways, I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry. Sorry if I can't do this, I mean. I think he might have messed up on who to choose... ha..

Sorry

love
Hadley

Dear a.
You're mysterious to me. I don't know how you feel about me and I don't know how I feel about you. Sometimes I feel like you despise me, others I feel like we get along fine. One moment I see you laughing with me from across the room, the next we walk past each other and catch each other's stares. You're so strange to me. Everyone knows you and you seem to know so many people and yet I've only really even heard you speak about twice in my whole life. You intrigue me. Perhaps it was just that you were the pretty new girl? Maybe it's that you're my boyfriend's ex? I'm not bitter about that- not in the slightest, however I'm not sure if you are. Now you're talking to L, which is strange because it had to be that one guy that I'd had a crush on for so long. I'm not gonna lie, it does feel a little weird. You intrigue and confuse me. I wish we could be friends because I can tell we'd get along fine, and you seem like a nice girl, but somehow I feel like that's not what you'd want?? I'll be forever wondering how you really feel about me- and I wish I could get to know you better.
somehow I feel like you'll always be a mystery to me.

Dear Grandma,
I know I shouldn't really pay attention to that little thing you told me before you left my house today.
After all, you're kind of known for being a liar.
You say one thing.
You do the other.
You go somewhere.
You tell us you went somewhere else.
It's all some kind of game - or at least, it feels like that.
But... today I felt like we bonded more? You sat down, patted my knee, and right away asked, "So, how's school?"
I had JUST told my dad that she wouldn't ask about my school or anything earlier today and wow, you proved me wrong.
And then, as you hugged me goodbye, you looked straight at me and said, "Now, this is my doll."
I know, I know, you've called my sister your favorite grandchild and a bunch of other people other things, and who knows if you mean them.
But... I'm not used to being called that... I think I'm awfully ugly and not at all doll like. Gosh, I'm almost crying over a comment that probably meant nothing.
But still. Thank you. <33
-your granddaughter

Dear best friend,

I'm sooo sorry I've been a crappy friend the past few days... I know it feels like I sit with A_ _ _ _ _ more than you, but it's for a good reason, I promise.

I'm not ignoring you, and I also wanted to say that you were right.. about what you said when we were at our lockers... IT DOESNT MATTER ANYWAYS. ahhaa.... *sweats nervously*

I promise in... a few.. weeks.. I'll start being a better friend, but I have something to do right now!

From, Hadley
