Fake letter

*Dear mistreated past,

I am so sorry

I treated you this way

I was confused

and had not meant to cause your heart abuse

I have always loved you

and I was distant

I know

I cannot fathom your hurt

and I played mind games

this I understand

and all the while you never did demand

and I'd unintentionally insult

and ignore you

But I was insecure

and these feelings for you

made me afraid

It's dangerous to have these emotions

at such a young age

I would leave and come back

constantly

But can't you see

how you haunt me

and I know I cruelly used you the last time I was here

and am dating someone new

but still I never got over you

And how I would push and make you cry

I am so so sorry for wasting 4 years of your life

and making you watch "The Comebacks" with me that one time

I apologize for all the pressure I always pushed onto you

and for never taking the time to see things through

Please forgive me for giving you

pain

and

grief

For leaving without goodbyes

For all those sweet spoken lies

For the confusion you went through

I will never get over you

or forgive myself for things I have done

and things I didn't do

And you will find someone who is worthy of you

and I will be a miserable sack of ****

here thinking of you

You will make me regret all my life

and I will always mourn killing what never really

had a chance to survive and thrive

You will find true love

while I waste others time

You will be happy

and your sorrow, and hate, and love for me

will die*

 

Are all the things I wish you said to me.
