Dear S

Lydia

I’m not sure if you know that I still have feelings for you. Honestly, I’m not sure why I haven’t moved on yet. I know we could’ve been good friends if I hadn’t messed things up 3 years ago by telling you that I liked you. But you didn’t like me back. I also know you never will. So I’m not sure why I still want you. I’ve cried over you more times than I’d like to admit and I’ve wondered what things would be like if I hadn’t said anything. Would I have a chance with you? Or would it still be the same? I’m still super jealous of the girl that you used to like. I’m not sure if you like anyone else now, but before I messed everything up, I knew you really liked L. Is it because she’s popular? Or did you just think she was pretty? Of course, I can’t really ask you that because that would be weird. But she is pretty. She’s super pretty and I wished I looked like her. Just to get your attention. I don’t really know if you think I’m pretty or not, but you said you only see me as a friend and that I’m a very nice person. But I’m not sure if you actually meant it or not because you’re very short in your responses, so I always feel like I annoy you. I sometimes wonder, would I have had a chance if I were white? Is that something that pushed you away from me? The fact that I’m Asian? She has brown eyes and brown hair. I also have brown eyes and brown hair. Is it the fact that I’m not popular? Because you’re a popular guy and she’s a popular girl, so of course it would make sense for you to like her. What made you not want me? Was it my honesty with you? Was I too honest? Did I scare you off with how bold I was? What did I do wrong?
