Dear boy who I still do love,
I'm having one of those moments. Those "Why the hell did I do whatever it was to make you hate me" moments. I know it's been a while but these moments come and go. More than I can take.
I'm sinking slowly into the quicksand and it seems like you're the only one who can pull me out of here. You're standing at the edge of sand pit and you watch me as I drown, and you're promising me that you will help but that's all you do. And I just continue to sink, half-expecting you to pull me out.
But expecting, none the less.
No. I am not over you.
Unlike you, I do contain an iota of human compassion in me that strangely pushes me to live for love. And that damned morsel of self-loathing love has latched on to the ghost of you and it just refuses to let go. Like it needs you to survive. To feel something.. To feel alive.
Sudden bouts of rage do overcome me but sooner or later, I succumb to torrents of hurt. Why is it that I can't let go of you the way you let go of me?
Is it because you PROMISED, we'd work on whatever we have? Oh, apologies... What you thought we had.
And you still give me hope. You say things, silly little things, which lift me up and leave me grinning like an idiot, like it was the first time I met you. But you don't mean those things.. You never did intend for us to grow. You never thought about what this meant to me. What us meant to me.
I want to walk away from you and never look back because I can't stop hurting but I love you I LOVE you so so SO much, that the sheer THOUGHT of doing something like that is like committing an unforgivable sin. Like I'm killing off a part of me.
Is it so hard for you to see how hurt I am? Can't you see I'm sorry for whatever it was I did to break us apart? I can't go two minutes without thinking about you and then breaking down because I lost the best thing that ever happened to me. I just cannot do this..
I'm mad all the time but I swear I don’t mean to be. I tend to cry at the drop of a hat which is why I hide my only other known weakness with empty rage.
I go to bed, praying, and clinging on hopelessly to your jacket and the will to bring the old you back to me. I go to sleep crying, and I wake up from a dream of being back in your arms, only to realize the gravity of the illusion, and I break down again.
How badly I want us to work at this… Because I KNOW that we’re worth a lot more.
Because I love you endlessly.
Losing you was the harshest thing that’s happened to me. And if I watch you move on with your life from my quicksand pit, it would destroy me. I don’t want to just “stick around”. I want to be yours again.
I’m not telling you not to move on. All I’m asking you is to be human for a change. Turn around and consider the one person who’s loved you for all these years. Flaws and everything. Who called you her best friend even though you never saw it. Who loved you for who you are, not what you are. Who still loves you... Despite what you’ve become.
I know now, for certain, that you don’t care. But I will be patient. I’ll still smile, without a reason and I’ll live, in search of one. But I will wait. Because I believe in love and miracles and magic. Because I know good things happen to those who wait. Because I hope. Because I dream. Because I believe.
And it’s not a sin to dream, right?
Love, from, the girl who still loves you.

This note was previously published on facebook. I still thought I'd share it here again.
See, the girl's lament was ignored. She will have to suffer in his silence, they said. But she still holds on to that fragile piece of hope, which grows stronger with each of her wishes.
It's a dangerous game she plays. She'll hurt herself all over again. It's sad, they say.
Very sad... But let her be. Love does strange things to one's heart.
