You probably don’t know this, but the way you made
me feel, shaped the person that I am today.
I have no idea about why I’m bringing this up
now, ‘cause honestly I haven’t thought about you in months, yet, here we are.
I just wanted to say, it took me a few years, I’m
finally truly starting to love and respect myself, like I should from the beginning.
It still makes me (a little bit) sad to know that we could’ve had a beautiful life-long
friendship like many others, but it does
not make me feel sad enough to let go the years of (what felt like) emotional
abuse go away.
I’m
starting to live my dreams, you know, ones
that you shattered when we were kids.
Oh, and the promises and the secrets that you
never kept, are now nothing but repressed memories in the back of my head, so
they mean almost nothing to me.
It’s funny
you know, back then, it felt like the worst felling in the world, and now ... it’s
nothing.
But hey, we were kids, right?
Kids are
naturally mean to each other, right?
Putting me down was the only way of looking out
for me, right?
Right?
I now forgive you (a little bit), you probably
never knew other way to treat different people.
People that didn’t act like
you.
People that weren’t like you.
I forgive you. A little bit.
And I hope that someday you can forgive me too.
For not being the “Normal Girl” that you
clearly were, are, will always be.
With love,
Laura
