Letter to a Friend

I wrote this from the perspective of someone who had come to care very deeply for a friend of his or hers. This writing is meant to never be sent to the person the writer is writing to. I couldn't come up with a name for the receiver so I simply named them "Friend" Enjoy!

Dear Friend,

I know that it is highly unlikely that you will ever read this. I know that if by chance you do read this, I will be dead. However, even though I know you might never read this, I'm writing to you anyway, on this night.

I want you to know something Friend: You are, without a doubt, one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. You are funny, smart, and easily likable; all of the qualities I look for in a person. When I met you, I immediately noticed that you were the perfect friend for me. My recognizing your personality made me become infatuated with you. It was almost as if I was falling in love with you. But soon I realized that I wasn't in love, but that I loved you as a friend. I still love you as a friend, Friend, I promise you that.

I will always love you as a friend, Friend, no matter what. I promise that I will do anything in my power to keep you safe from harm. I cannot live my life without you in it. If I lost you, my world would fall apart.

Friend, you are my muse. Nothing inspires me the way you do. Thank you for all my missing pieces. Thank you for your strength and friendship. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes, because only then could I know that I am good enough for you.

All my love, always.
