Dear -----,

I’m sorry. I think you’re still mad at me, but I don’t know for certain. I haven’t talked to you in over a year now. Probably close to 2 now.

You asked me out 2 years ago and I was so shocked. We had been good friends for a while by then but I never expected you to ask me out. Two of my best friends both had very strong opinions about it: one wanted me to accept. The other didn’t. I ended up saying no for no particular reason. As soon as I told you, I regretted it. Why couldn’t I just say yes and see what happened?

We used to be such great friends, we talked everyday for hours on Skype and hang out heaps at school. You were sweet and funny and cared about me. I thought we would always be friends just because of how easy our friendship was, but apparently not.

After I said no to you, I noticed that you started flirting with pretty much every girl in the grade. About a month later, you started dating one of the girls but I could tell that you didn’t like her. I knew you and it wasn’t hard to see that you didn’t care about her. But you refused to talk to me. And you didn’t tell anyone that you asked me out either, so people kept coming up to me and asking me what was up between us. It was really hard because I felt guilty and sad, so I lied and said it was nothing.

I didn’t understand how you had changed so much in the span of a weekend. Then again, you might have always been like that but I just didn’t notice because I was too caught up in the guy you were with me.

I lost a friend because of a stupid decision I made. To this day you still don’t talk to me, so I don’t know if you’re still holding onto it or you are just too obsessed with being in the popular crowd as you are now, but either way, I’m sorry.
