Dear Tom,
I'm really sorry that I am such a coward, but I don't have enough guts to say this on the phone. I really really like you, but I really really like you only as a friend. I'm telling you this because it wouldn't be fair to string you along. If you thought about it, you would probably feel the same way about me. I also don't want to go out with anyone at the moment.
I'm doing this for your own good, because it wouldn't be fair to string you along. I could string you along, but i'm not because I care alot about you, and I always will.
I really want to be friends, Can we be?
from Shelley.
I must have read that letter a hundred times. I was crushed. Just one of the many gems I found.
Last night Lauren and I went for a retrotrip down my memory lane. Looking through my massive box of letters and cards, having a laugh, a bitch, and watching them go up in flames. It was cleansing, and excessively fun. I even found 10 bucks in a christmas card. Score! Thanks to Lauren, meant so much for you to be there with me.
