letters from the crushed

a story to tell,

i wrote a two page letter, front and back covered with words i couldn’t express aloud. i gave the letter to my best friend, at the time, to deliver it. my heart beat through my throat. the next day my crush stopped talking to me, i didn’t understand. my best friend told me she delivered it… two weeks later i found the letter folded in her dresser, and she said he threw it back at her without reading it. he didn’t like her, and thought it was by her. after that i didn’t talk to him and ignored him. he tried talking to me , and to this day we don’t talk like we did so long ago. grammar school stories to be told… i’ve changed. he’s changed.
