Dear Kaleb,
     You told me that you didn't remember how we knew each other. I told you I didn't remember, either. That was a lie. I've been reliving it for over a year.
     We met on snapchat. I added you, and you snapchatted me first. You didn't know who I was. We started to get to know each other. You were perfect! You were funny, really cute, athletic, and had the most adorable smile! I didn't think I could ever feel sad again! You were like a drug I was addicted to!
     Then you asked me who I liked. Of course, I had to say that I liked you. You said you liked me, too. You were even going to break up with your girlfriend to be with me! I thought I died and went to heaven!
     Then I started thinking. What would my dad say about this? What would my friends say about this? How would we be able to see each other? I was too afraid to continue with this. I was too afraid of a physical relationship, so I ended it. I didn't want to hurt you, even though I did. You told me that you thought I was your true love.
     Now, a year too late, I realize I've made a mistake. You're all I want. I'm in love with you, Kaleb Lane Garrett, but I realized this far too late. You're in a relationship with another girl, and it kills me. I want you to be happy, though, so I'm not going to do what I did last time. If I could go back in time, I would've never let you go. I feel like I'm dying without you.
     I love you... now I'm just waiting for you to love me, too.
     Love (hopefully soon),
                                 Becky Robbins
