To Felicity
Felicity... you were the first real friend I had ever had in ten years, you were the first person to ever actually want to speak to me. You helped me when no one else would, when all they did was watched as Zeke beat me up.
You made me so happy, you always made me smile. The way you laughed was like music to my ears, it made me want to laugh too. The way you smiled, it brightened up my mood so much.
You weren't just my friend... you were my first love too...
After a while, I realised that all I wanted, was to have you by my side. I wanted those late night talks, cuddling on the couch, small kisses and meaningful hugs. That's all I ever wanted with you, I just wanted you to be mine...
But you lied. You lied and you betrayed me. You never cared, you never actually wanted to be my friend did you? No, because after New Year's Eve... where were you?
That's right.
By Zeke's side.
I had felt my heart shatter when I saw you with him... not only had you lied to me, but I knew that everything I had done was stupid.
I let you in, I let you in and I trusted you. I told you things no one else knew... things my own mother didn't even know... I showed you what I was like, you saw me at my low, but not my lowest...
I told you things know one else knew... because I thought I could trust you... I thought I could trust you because I loved you.
But I guess the saying is true... love makes you blind.
I was too naive and desperate to realise that everything was a lie, that you were never really my friend... just a pawn in one of Zeke's pranks.
But even after all of this... even after you left me broken, not even a goodbye... I was still stupid enough to love you... and I still do... I just wish things could have been different, I wish this wasn't some big prank, I wish you were actually my friend and I wish you hadn't run away on New Year's Eve...
I still love you, and I'll admit that. I'll always remember you as the first person I loved... but I'll also remember that I can't just hand my heart to anyone... can I?
I hope the prank was well worth your while... you won't get a chance for another one.
But no matter what, I'll always remember you as mine, my principessa.
