Heidi I fell in love with you at the age of 15, and I remember how I rode my bicycle The 4 miles across town almost every day that summer, two and a half years ago How much effort I put in to make the 40 minute ride over, just to come visit you Heidi I remember your friends and they were nice at first, until your best friend Jaina Thought the word ***** was a part of everyday language and I realized She wasn't even good for much except putting people down and going outside to smoke Heidi I remember the stories you told me about them and how you said you felt obligated To take care of them, and that they meant a lot to you, how you loved them For their silly jokes and shenanigans and just the fact that they were ******* badass" Heidi I remember when Jaina, Miles, and David were over one night I came for dinner They just walked in unprompted, and ruined the time we had alone I remember how you all laughed at me when David made a sick joke about my racial makeup Heidi I got up from the table and went to the bathroom to cry that night Not because I had to go to the bathroom but because you replied to his joke by laughing along And you even made another joke saying "But he's our token asian" Heidi I remember sitting next to you on your bed when we would watch movies all evening But I also remember your attitude and the things you called me the whole time "Asian buddy" Heidi I started noticing things about you I hadn't seen before because my love was blind Like how badly you treated people, just like your friends did Like how self-absorbed you were and how quickly you and your friends ego's fell apart When you realized going to the corrupt Art Institutes for art degrees to make art was probably a bad idea Heidi You were having a hard time finding yourself and what you wanted to do with your life Because you'd spent all your time in high school thinking you were on top of everyone I led you on for almost 8 months before I decided enough was enough Heidi I should have left you early on because during those 8 months I tried to change you Talk to my friends, I talked to them nonstop about you and what I should do with you I remember how I only stayed because it wouldn't be fair to you for all the work we put in Heidi I'm sorry I hurt you but you hurt me too and as time went by I realized You weren't even close to someone I wanted to spend any time with You were nothing I could love, a proven *****
