Dear Andy,

My best friend for the best part of five years. I wish we were still friends.

You're a great guy but we both knew I wasn't the one for you. I came too far behind football in your list of priorities. If there was a football match to attend, that was more important than anything else. I remember the point I realised this was when I was extremely ill and frightened and I begged you not to travel across the country to a football match, but to stay with me. I like to think I'm pretty independent but I needed you that day. I said I'd pay you back for your ticket. You said no. We didn't break up immediately as by that point we'd built a life together, but that was the point I knew it was over.

I wanted to be with someone who loved me more than anything else. I know you didn't and that wasn't good enough for me in the end.

And we weren't right for each other either - we just didn't fancy each other (agree?). Our sex-life was pretty dire. I think we're both much happier now.

I still have hope that one day we'll be friends again. Now we work at the same company we have to talk to each other!

You'll always be special to me.
