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

[Lostfairy]

Dear M,

Back yet again, I know.

But wow. I randomly decided to look up your name on Twitter. Nothing. So then I just searched your full name on Google.

Wow. You’re on your school’s council. You’re the Treasurer. Good for you.

I almost forgot what you looked like but as soon as I saw those pictures taken at your school, I immediately had memories flash before me of the times when I saw your face for over an hour at a time, when we Skyped. Wow. My emotions were whacked for a little afterwards. I honestly wish I could say “I miss you!” but I don’t. I don’t. I so don’t. Any good memory of you? It’s tainted and washed away by all the bad.

And then, I go to the library today and in the YA section, there’s two girls studying. One of them looks EXACTLY like you. She kept almost smiling in this way that you always did and she kept looking at ME. It was freaky and I swear my breathing became more... panicky. My sister noticed, it was that loud. But goshhhhh. She looked like you, M. The glasses. The orangey hair. The round yet not face shape. Her eyes that are sort of round and big. Her neutral face that was more of a smirk.

I kept glancing over my shoulder after she got up from the desk and left her friend. I dunno what I was expecting.

It’s like you’re haunting me, haha.

Dear M & D

I'm trans. please don't view me any differently, I'm still the same person you've always known. I'm just getting comfortable in my own skin. I love you guys.

Dear M,
I love you so much. You are the best person in the world, to put it lightly. I'm so very sorry if it seems I'm pushing you away, I just know you can do better than me. I don't want you going through life thinking I'm the one when there could be another, so much better than I am.
I love you,
Mad

• to rose:
  how dare you? how dare you talk to her? after all the hurt she put me through? first, you basically cut me out of your life, and then you rub my face in it by hanging out with my ex-best friend who absolutely devastated me? and of course, you had to go post it where i could see. i just want to scream at you, call you names that would make a sailor blush. but i can't that do, because you don't even have the guts to show up here anymore.
  what did i ever do to you to deserve this?

Dear M,

Dude. I saw your lookalike again. At the library again.

What’s freaky is that the similarities keep going. She was sitting next to a brown haired guy. You had a major crush on a brown haired guy. She has the same build as you. She was making the same kind of extravagant gestures as you do.

Like? What’s going on? You’re totally haunting me.

I almost started hyperventilating and I could barely put away books, my mind was racing. I kept staring at your lookalike, wanting to see if she’d look at me. Then I would see her from full on and I would know. I tried to hear her. She barely talked and her whispers were too quiet.

I mean, it IS summer. You could be on a vacation here????? You DO know my exact location so this freaks me out.

...I’m going to email you tomorrow. I need to know. And I feel like I should apologize.
