Letters to Corrine

Letter 5

Dear Corrine,

I cried today. Seeing you among the others, happy and smiling, something in me broke. The fake smile on my face froze and the tears I had been holding back slid down my cheeks.

I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't be strong... because you were my friend. You supported me... You almost stitched my broken pieces back together. And I thought that was all I needed... I was wrong. I didn't need someone to fix me, I needed someone to love me. And you were in love with fixing the broken. Not me.

Love,
Allie.
