Friends with benefits: 2002-2005
Hi Pete,
Well, you broke my heart. I think the only boy who ever has. I know our relationship meant very little to you, but it meant a lot to me.
I don't know what it was about you... I loved your sense of humour, especially in the days before you knew how adorable you were. Then you got cocky too, which I also loved. I hate how you made me feel sometimes, but enjoyed our crazy conversations (emails, calls, in person) and our drunken/drugged nights out.
You didn't have a mobile at the beginning of our relationship, and it was also before the days of social media, so you'd often ring me on my landline and give me random facts. I'll never forget your excitement when you called me to tell me Holly Valance was naked in her latest music video. Later that night we smoked weed, put the TV on and channel hopped the music channels for hours trying to find it.
You'll always be the one that got away. I love that occasionally we are still friends but sad you'll never know how much I loved you.
When we met up again a few years ago to attend a mutual friend's wedding and we stayed in that B&B.... we had twin beds and when you tried to join me in mine I said no, but I meant yes.
