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

[Loxo]

Dear D,

Part of me is trying to forget about you.
The rest of me is beating up that small part and holding on to the memories of you as tight as it can.
I don’t want to let you go, even though I have to force back tears every time I remember you. Especially those last few days with you. Those were some of the best and worst days.
I think you should be proud of me, though. I’ve forgiven Br and the others, although it wasn’t easy. Now I’m a lighter, happier person, although losing you left a hole deep inside me.
My parents don’t know that I let go of my grudge and still treat me poorly when it comes up; I’m trying to work up the courage to tell them. I think my dad won’t believe me, and my mom will expect me to proclaim my love for Br and the others right there, and I’m not ready to lie like that or try to convince my dad.
We’re going away for the weekend. I hope I get to see Ki and Ri.
I’ll never forget you, D. You left a hole in me that cannot be filled. I’m broken inside without you. I think I’m broken on the outside, too, because people can always tell when I’m sad.
I will love you forever,
(Insert name here)

Dear -,

This is the last time.
I'm saying goodbye.
You've put me in so much pain.
You're taking advantage of me.
Because I keep forgiving you.
I'm sorry.
But this has to end.
It's almost been a month.
And I'm the only one keeping our friendship alive.
Bye.
Hope the rest of your life is good.
Please don't take this the wrong way.
You just keep breaking our promise.
A very important promise.
And now you especially remind me of my catfish.

I'm sorry, bye.

dear mom,
im sincerely sorry for all of the times i have lashed out at you. ive not been in the best head space for a while now. i remember you telling me to wish for something every night and maybe it would come true. that wish? that wish for the past 9 years has been to just be happy. for the longest time i really wanted to believe that just cause you wished really hard that it would come true. i wanted a family, a real family, i wanted friends that wouldnt go behind my back, i wanted a school that was in my best interest and actually cared about our education. nothing came true, and eventually i gave up. i gave up trying to be the person you wanted me to be, because i was so fed up with being let down and lied to. i just shut everything out. i used to cry about our family, but now i honestly dont care. youre just a couple of people i live with. i wanted a mom who didnt act like she wanted to disown me, i wanted brothers who didnt act like they wouldnt come to my funeral if i died tomorrow, i wanted a dad. but now, i honestly want nothing. because if i say i want something, and that thing doesnt happen, ill be disappointed. and thats the one feeling i know the most. to want something so bad just to be told youll never get it. damn. if they could see me now. nowhere and nothing.

and to the rest of my family;
im sorry i wasnt what you wanted me to be. im sorry i became much, much less than that.

dear [redacted],

sometimes i dream about you and how things would of been if i hadn’t screwed everything up for us. i know its wrong to think that when i’ve told you i’ve moved on. but theres a part of me that won’t let go of you; that writes poetry about you; that still loves and cares about you. if i actually sent you this, you wouldn’t even read it. and its a good thing i didn’t. i want you to still care about me. i wanted you to love me as much as i loved you. i hope you’re happy. never having to have to see me again. i’ll miss your glances to me in class. i miss you dearly. sometimes i just wished you came back.

sincerely,

a.

Dear x
So much has changed in the past few days and now I've found out that you're not a good person at all. Sadly I still like you because I can't just stop liking someone that fast but believe me, if you were a good person I'd be truly head over heels for you. You're funny and you have a great sense of humour, hence why you're always making me laugh. You're so kind to me and you've genuinely cared for me and everything but you're no good for me or anyone. Hope you change in the future because right now you're making all the wrong decisions.

dear b,
funny how you’re always the one im writing to.
i wanted to distance myself from you, to stop
being the clingy one, but how come you decided
to text me today? just when i thought we’d be
fine as just mutual friends. sure, we’re fine with
each other’s now but, it feels just, suffocating.
we talk like normal friends, best friends, but
i wish you took notice that we’re still exes. sure,
i want to stay as friends but i, just don’t know.
i don’t want to be the only one falling for you
again. it feels as if we never had romantic feelings
for each other, or at least, you never had any for me.
of course, it doesn’t hurt as much as before but,
have you ever considered my feelings? i just don’t know.
sure, i want you to be happy either way but, it just
sorta hurts, i wish you actually cared about me for once.

to b,
you’re a horrible person, why did I ever even waste my time being your friend? yikes, now I understand the rumours
I decided to ignore everything my other friends said about you and give you a chance
but you literally hate 5 of my friends and tried to make me leave them so I can give you attention
go away and get it through your skull that you are a manipulative, horrible creature.
crying for pity and when you don’t get it, throwing a tantrum

“don’t speak to me anymore” you said, only then afterwards bawling a river of self pity and “why aren’t you talking to me?”
welp
you’re never hearing from me again :).

- a person who is well and truly sick of you.

_____,

I'm sorry for the way I acted. I was angry at that time and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Regardless, ending our contact entirely was something I'd been thinking about for awhile because I realized that as tempting as it was to keep you around, it was also hurting me and no good would come of it so it would probably end up hurting you too, if it wasn't already. I'll miss you and it'll take awhile for things to feel normal again, but I believe we'll both be okay and I wish you luck for the future. I know you can and will do amazing things, even if I'm not there to witness them. I'm sorry for all the times I hurt you, including now, and I hope that you'll be able to move past it and live happily soon.
