Natalie Lost

Remembering what we shared, of love. Yet not of lovers, we were more. You were more, one of my closest friends, the one who would not hide the truth from me. Really someone who made me into who I am today. Someone who reminded me the good of humanity. And for that I thank you.

However it took the flaws of humanity. My flaws to break us. A new life, a new start. We make many of them in our lives. To make this one, I had to give up you. As my attentions turned away from the corner of my room to the vast openness of the world. To make friends, to be someone. To enjoy life. I betrayed everything we had. Until one day, with a passing wave, you left. Then I realised what I had missed.

All I can do now is wish you luck. And that one day we can meet again. Until then I shall wait, and take my turn to cry as the many times you did onto me. Now you will never read my apology. Just please, remember. I will always be there for you.

We learn though our mistakes! The first sentence is gobbledogook - I suggest you correct it as it puts people off reading further.

You should just make them read it! This is perfect it captures everything you feel in words, ive been in similar (maybe less emotional) situations and you just feel like writing wont help but maybe it does...
