Trapped In The Margins

To the boy with the tired eyes,

I hope that you find the success that you’re looking for because you’re killing yourself slowly, kid. You couldn’t handle everything in your life so it all just crashed around you. I never wanted to be one of the things that added stress to your life but I guess that it couldn’t be avoided. I don’t know what happened but you changed. You became more distant. I tried to give you space but maybe I gave you too much space.

I admit that I will miss those tired eyes of yours but it’s best to forget them while I still have good memories. I fear that critical analysis of our past interactions have left me filled me more torment than joy. I have to give it to you. You were great at manipulating the situation. I just wish that you would have been more upfront about your bullshit in the beginning.

Oh, and good luck with the person that you really love. I hope that you have the courage to tell the person how you feel. It’s not good to keep affairs of the heart overlooked for so long. I really hope that things work out for you because everyone deserves to be loved. I hope that you fall so deeply in love with someone because I have seen the transformative power of love. And man, do you need it.

Sincerely,

The girl with the equally tired eyes
