You started as a best friend; our friendship began because through discussing our crushes on out mutual friends. You were the funniest, most outrageous person I knew and I loved my time with you. But I didn't realize that somewhere along the line your feelings grew to something more than friendship. You were my first kiss; it was at junior prom and completely unexpected in my oblivious mind. I like to think I learned to have feelings for you, but the truth is that I was just trying to force it because of our friendship, and I eventually got scared and felt smothered. I'm sorry I broke your heart.

We had been friends for years and I had always been attracted to you. When it looked like that friendship was finally going to become something else, I was thrilled beyond belief. You kissed me when you walked me to my car one night, and I squealed with happiness the entire drive home. We spent some lovely evenings exploring different parks. We both knew that it was just going to be for a summer. We had a good month and then you suddenly stopped talking to me. My attempts to contact you and ask what was wrong were all in vain. You finally sent me that facebook message telling me that things were over and insulting my morals, goals, and friends. I was too angry to be hurt. I still try not to think about it because I get so upset. Thanks for ending things because after all these years, I now realize that you were crazy.

I thought you were weird at first, but then your weirdness grew on me. I had never met someone so free-spirited and adventurous and hilarious. You quickly won me over and we were inseparable. When you kissed me in the rain while dancing on "our bench," I felt like I was living a dream. Things were just so easy between us and we never had to talk about our relationship because it just happened. I think you were my first love, or at least my first glimpse of what love could be. The first time I ever cried over a boy was the night you left. Those two years were hard and I planned on continuing to love you when you came back. But life never works out as we plan and everything just felt so different and weird when you returned. I think I was scared of us actually working out. I don't know why we weren't supposed to be together, but I could not ignore those feelings of wrongness. I'm sorry I couldn't give you good a reason for ending things and I'm sorry that I have such a hard time talking about my feelings. I didn't want to hurt you and I just wanted you to be happy because I cared so much about you. I'm sorry for how things ended.

I fell for you hard and fast, and I terrified all my friends. You viewed the world in the most unique way. You were artistic and had opinions and I was fascinated by you. You opened my eyes to so many new things in the world and you made me a more open-minded person. Looking back, I realize that you were never really interested in me, you just liked kissing me. It was a good day when I realized that you were no good for me.

We had a whirlwind relationship. From the moment I met you, I was totally swept up in your hilarity and your goodness. I've never spent time with a man so full of life and energy. It all happened so fast and after two weeks of spending every moment together, I got scared. It was too much, too soon for me and I just shut down. I never explained that to you and I'm sorry. But you were good enough to just be able to my friend after all of that.

You were the first boy to ever break my heart and we never even dated. I spent more time in your apartment during that semester than I did in my own. You and your roommates were my best friends and then one day I realized I was head over heels for you. You always sent signs that you were interested as well, like how we shared our moments of laughter and eye contact even when we were in a group of people. I convinced myself that you liked me and my heart almost fluttered out of my chest the day you held my hand. You were perfect in my eyes, but then you moved away without even saying goodbye and I was so sad. And then it crushed me when you told me you were engaged just 1 month later.

I just must add you to the list of almost-relationships that nearly defeated me. Our friendship was real and deep and how could I not fall for you? All those adventures and those library days that you made bearable. I knew you were interest and it filled my heart with joy. And then one day, you just stopped. It was just over and you never explained why. I still thought you were perfect and that made getting over you difficult. Even now, almost 2 years later, I have regrets about you and cherish those rare moments when we run into each other.

You were the most dramatic story of my life. We got along splendidly and had so much fun together, yet I still had my doubts. You hurt me at a hard time in my life, and I thought you could never redeem yourself from that, but surprisingly you did and you made everything right. I realize that everyone makes mistakes and I'm sorry it always seemed like I held yours against you, but that actually wasn't the case at all, I just didn't feel right about a relationship with you. You were too good to me and too patient with me and it was frustrating. I was always stressed over what a good friend you were because I knew it meant more to you than it did to me. But I love our friendship. Still to this day, I find you to be one of the people I feel most comfortable being around and I love you. I just wish I loved you the way you wanted me to. When two of my best friends married two of your best friends, I realized that our lives will be entangled for the rest of our lives and I want that to be okay. I think it will.

We were set up on a blind date. We both knew that our mutual friend wanted so badly for us to date, so we did. We didn't really have anything in common, but we just kept pushing a relationship. You were so into your music and I just wasn't. We never talked about what was going on between us, it just happened naturally. One day I realized that I had spent all this time with you, but I didn't feel like I really knew anything about you. You were this mystery that I couldn't figure out. I think we both were just there because we were told we would go so well together but neither of us were terribly invested in the relationship, so when it died out, it didn't really effect either of us.

You were a friend when I needed one the most in my life, and you always made the world exciting. And you made me laugh. We had a summer of adventure and fun, but it was always just as friends because you loved another girl. I tried to deny my feelings for you because I knew they would never be reciprocated. But those feelings came in full force when you kissed me under the stars during a meteor shower. And then you acted like nothing happened. We continued on as best friends and confidants, but we never talked about us. You frustrate me. And it has taken me a long time to learn to just be your friend again.
