Dear… you,

I’m sorry. I feel like I’ve failed you in some way and I’m sorry. I can’t do everything right all the time. Apparently. Please don’t be disappointed in me.

Dear Ex-boyfriend,

Please don’t talk to me anymore. Don’t honk at me when we pass each other on the road. Don’t wave to me. Don’t say hi in the hallways. Don’t text me. Don’t apologize or make excuses or try to “make it up” to me. We both know that you don’t mean any of it. We both know that if we both wanted to, we could hang out. We have time. We had time before. We have time now. This would be easier for me if you would just stop interacting with me all together.

You aren’t helping me. The time for helping me was months ago. If you really did love me, you would have been kinder to me then. You have destroyed all the trust I had in you. It is not even remotely repairable. I don’t think we can be friends. Feel free to prove me wrong.

If in ten or twenty years I see you on the street, I’ll smile and give you a hug. Maybe we can do lunch and laugh about when we were “kids”. But we are not friends.

I am not weak. And if I was, it wouldn’t be your job to fix me.

Cheers,

Me
