Dear Emily

Dear Emily,

I know it’s been some years since I’ve spoken to you, and you probably assumed I’d gotten past it by now, but I need some closure. I couldn’t tell you this before because I was too close to it; I needed time and space to gather myself and recover enough to say this to you.

You were supposed to be mine forever. We were happy with each other, weren’t we? For that little time we had together – those moments we shared, we were happy.

And then he came along. I tried to ignore it, but I could see in your eyes that I was losing you. And when I walked in on you two… doing what you were doing… your bodies moving in that perfect rhythm we had never been able to achieve together…

You ripped out my heart and shat on my soul that day. You shattered my world, ruined my life, and left me a broken man.

It was the worst 5th grade dance ever.

Love,

Pip
