- Dear John,
-
- I love you. Before I say anything else, you've got to know
- that I love you. It just isn't enough.
- It started when I met you. I looked into your eyes and saw the
- incredible beauty of your soul. You get embarassed when i say things
- like that, but it's true. We shared so much on that first meeting;
- interests, dreams, poetry, ideas. It seemed so perfect. It was for a
- while, until She came into the picture.
- I don't know why you fell for her. You have nothing in common.
- You have intelligence, an appreciation for beauty, and aspirations.
- She is shallow, unimaginative, and apathetic. Maybe it is true that
- opposites attract. She is everything that is the opposite of you. But
- if that is true, then why am I so attracted to you, and why can't I
- make my feelings stop?
- I suppose I overestimated your intelligence. She doesn't
- really want you and She never will. She treats you like garbage, and
- you still go back for more. She lies to you and talks badly about you,
- and you still love her. I suppose that's our biggest difference. You
- treat me just as bad in your way, but I refuse to take it anymore.
- I love you, you know that, but now there's someone else. I
- don't feel as strongly about him as I do for you, but he'll treat me
- the way Ideserve to be treated, the way I _need_ to be treated. My
- feelings are delicate and have to be handled gently. you would just
- crush them if given the chance. He's not you and we don't share as
- much, but I appreciate him. My feelings aren't as strong for him, but
- given time they will be.
- Even though you haven't cared yet, I wanted you to know that
- you can't hurt me anymore. Yeah, I still love you, it just isn't your
- business now.
