You ruined my life but I still love you

Compliment #1

This goes out to my daughter Lindsey K.M. I hope you are doing well out there. Sometimes when I go out to the shops, I hope to see you there with a husband and a kid or two. I hope you are making something for yourself and doing what you love. I wish you would check up on me like you used to do.

The photograph of your 8th birthday with the gigantic green cake sits on my nightstand. It is the last thing I look at when I sleep and the first thing I wake up to. You are the light of my life. Love you always, little chook.

Dear Ana, 

If you do not know this is for you, Ana, then you have long black hair and threw an eraser on July 22nd 2024 and the eraser hit my glasses and rebounded back to you and hit you on the forehead. You also wear Benson’s with a red circle scuff mark on the left shoe. Okay now that you know who you are, I have a really big crush on you. You are so so pretty in every way. I think about you a lot. It is embarrassing to admit but I write poems and write songs all about you. 

I knew I liked you from the very start on the first day of school. Everyone was being quite rude  and leaving me out, but you smiled at me and introduced me to some of your friends. It is a smile I’ll never forget. I hate to know it, but you deserve better than me. I just wanted to tell at least someone how much I like you.

Shoutout to my mate Jeffrey P. We play for the Reds. You don’t know it but you saved my life that night with the accident. I don’t know how to repay you. Good lad :) Would do anything for you, man.

This is to my ex-best friend, Tegan U. You ruined my life but I still love you.

We went through so much together. How did it end as easily as that? There were so many good times we had, all the ups and down and we made it on top every time. Why did Jack’s party break us apart, what we both did to each other was wrong.  I want you to know I was so close to apologizing every day after that, but I could not bring up the courage to do that. I hoped that you had the courage I did not.

Guess we both didn’t.

We should have just said sorry to each other, life would be a lot better. I feel really guilty every single day. I messed up badly. It is too late now. You were really fun and you were my bestest friend. We were so close it felt like sisters. I miss telling every tiny detail about my life to you. I miss the sleepovers and miss going to school together. I miss our weekly boat rides in the lake and the time-consuming fishing trips. I miss you a lot Tegan. I genuinely wish you well in America. It is sad knowing I will never see you again.
