Being in love with you is nice. It was. It was nice. It could be nice...
It's not nice. Heartlessness never is, which is something I expect you know.
Perhaps I deserve it, but after looking at the situation in all lights, I
find it hard to believe.
I remember the first time we met. I was in love with you then, from the first
day. We had an extremely tumultuous relationship from the start because of
it. I never knew what to say around you, because I was scared that I might
accidentally blow my cover, and I knew (or thought I knew) that my love was
not going to be returned. I thought that if I told you how I felt, that you
would hate me.
I was so scared. That's why I left. I thought that if I never spoke to you
again, I would HAVE to get over you, and I seriously doubted that you cared.
I didn't know you would come looking for me again.
And you found me. I was angry, because I had almost gotten over you, I was
almost ready to try to have a relationship with someone else without wishing
they were you. I was almost ready.
You had found another girlfriend. I was shattered, and horribly jealous.
Whenever you mentioned that name, that perfect name, Amanda, which must be
perfect in order to be yours, I cried. It wasn't fair. I had known you longer
than she had. I had been horrible to you, and I admit it, and am sorry... but
somehow I promised myself you were mine, despite everything.
I got courageous. I admitted my love. So did you. Your love for ME. For
awhile after that -- during which time I actually met Amanda, and she IS
perfect -- you taunted me with I love you's and little kisses and
conversations long into the night, while always reminding me that you're
hers, and she's yours. That's not fair. I liked it at first, but it's not
nice anymore.
I'm glad we've had the friendship that we've had, Sean, I am. I want our
friendship to continue, because I think it would be good for me if I weren't
constantly being taunted by you. I want to be able to get over you. More than
I want anything, I want to be able to talk to you without being so sad and
feeling so lonely and being so jealous of Amanda. She's a sweet girl, I want
you two to be happy -- I want to be happy too. So you have to help me get
over you. All the things you want to say have to be silenced, and I'll
silence myself too. I don't want to be taunted, to be lead on anymore. I want
to be your friend, with no strings attached.
