An open letter

May 21, 2005

Dear Friend,

Hi!  It’s been a while since I last wrote you a letter.  How have you been doing since the last time we talked?  I hope you’re doing good contrary to what I have been hearing lately.

 

Yeah, I’ve heard that you’re not really doing ok.  Why did you lie to me, friend?  Why did you have to pretend to me that you are fine when in reality, you are not?  I thought you trust me?  You know I will never invalidate what you feel.  Never will I laugh at whatever it is that is bothering you.  I will always be the friend you want me to be.

 

I will laugh when you want me to.  Shut my mouth if you ask me to.  I will pat your back when the situation calls for it, comfort you when you feel alone.  When all else is taken away from you, trust that I will still be around.  That is how important you are to me.

 

Is he treating you right?  You told me last time that he is.  Then how come you’re crying?  How come you’re hurting?  Why the letters you posted in that forum?  I hate seeing you cry, friend.  When you hurt, I hurt, too.  Much more than you can imagine.  No don’t give me that sh*t about every relationship having both ups and downs.  You’ve cried for far too long for that person whom you wasted more than seven years of my life with, please don’t commit the same mistake again.  If you feel there’s nothing more for you with him, then let go.  You will do the both of you more good than this.  You don’t need him to be happy.  You’ll do just fine without him.  Much in the same way as before.

Besides, I don’t think you’re doing him a favor by being the person that you are.  It is obvious that he doesn’t like what he sees.  Why don’t you prove how much you love him by setting him free?

I know it sounds very much like what happened before but hey, that’s what life is all about.  Maybe you just haven’t found the person who you are meant to be with for the rest of your life.  He will come, friend.  Don’t be weary waiting.  And if he doesn’t, then God has a much better plan for you.  Remember, the only person who you can’t do without is God.  God is enough for you.  God is more than enough.

I love you.  I will always be here for you.

much love,

your alter ego
