I had to give up on yet another guy today. This time, the story was a little more complex than just the usual “it would never work out.” 

My friend…one of my best friends…seemed upset these last few days. Worse, upset at me. So I texted her today to see what was wrong. Apparently, she liked this guy, too.

She felt bad, since she knew how much I liked him, but she likes him a lot, as well. Naturally, I realized that if either of us had a chance with him, it would be her. I’m no competition for anyone. So I had no choice but to give him up, or else I might lose my best friend.

I hope that when you come along, it will be easier to be in love.  I’m sick of being let down, of having to give up, and having to watch other people be happy. Yes, being who I am, I’d take someone else’s happiness over mine any day. I just want to be happy…maybe just once. Please…I need you so much right now. I can’t take another heartbreak. 

Love,

Me
