Dear Best Friend
Dear “Best Friend”,
How could you? How could your actions be so malicious? How could you betray a friend like that with no regret? After all I had done for you, how could you allow yourself to commit such an awful act? I always try to imagine the thoughts running through your mind when you abandoned me to survive in the world on my own. I can still hear your voice repeating your promise as it swirls around my brain, refusing to disintegrate; no matter how hard I try. It’s as if my mind doesn’t want me to forget. I want nothing more than to suppress that awful memory from my mind but I can’t. The pain that still circulates in my heart is embellished there forever.
This wouldn’t be such a grave situation if I had not let down my walls and admitted that you were the only person I had left in my life. It seemed as if I could honestly trust you. I guess you really are such a commendable actress. But at times I could see past your concealed “fake” personality around them. You had to pretend to be someone you’re not, just for their approval. But that makes me wonder, why wasn’t my approval enough? You would make an effort. They wouldn’t. You would listen. They wouldn’t. You would run a mile for them. They wouldn’t even take a step. They treated you like extra baggage that was a burden to carry around. But yet when your mind was clouded with their opinions telling you that I was unnecessary in your life, you conceded.
In the past few months, I have decided to become cordial with you again. I would much rather be acquaintances than enemies. You may not recognize this, but I note the small glimpse of remorse in your eyes. I appreciate that you are regretful and apologetic, but at this point however, I cannot stand to hear another apology. Your apologies are useless to me as the amount of tedious schoolwork we are given on a daily basis. It’s too late to rewind the clock now. But, I do deem that rewriting the past could be probable. This is why I am writing this letter to you. I am not guaranteeing my full forgiveness, but this is an embarkation to a new beginning. I miss my best friend. I just hope that your genuine identity hasn’t vanished.
Maybe we needed this time apart to realize how vital we are in each other’s lives. I comprehend that this may seem as a shock to you because I have kept my distance. But as of right now, us Taurus should roam freely together.
