Letters To No One In Particular

Cowardly Girl

  Dear no one in particular, 

       Remember when we were close? I do. I remember when we were inseparable and no one could say anything to us. You really were my unbiological sibling, but then it all went down the drain. You went away for a while. I wondered for days, weeks, and maybe even months for your return. When you finally came back, I was filled with joy. But when I hugged you, you didn't hug me back. You didn't smile. Your eyes showed no recognition of me. I pretended it that nothing was wrong, that you were still the same person that I knew and loved. Soon it got too big to ignore so I journeyed away from you. I couldn't stay and wait for my heart to break, so I broke you instead. It was intentional I saw what was happening but was too cowardly to do anything. Years passed and I saw you again. We weren't the same people as we were before. We walked passed each other for a fragment of a second, then I reached out for you only to see you do the same.
