The First Line is Always the Hardest


Hey

Too casual

Hi

Too cute

To my--

What are you to me?

To my friend with benefits

To my friend with benefits

There's no benefits to you.

To my friend with benefits

I don't think we've ever been friends.

To my

You're nothing to me.

To S--

Writing your name would be sacreligious.

To S

Dear--

You are oh so dear to me. . .

Dear most hated one,

. . . but I'd also like to punch you in that oh so dear face.

Dear most hated one

Too aggressive.

How do you address the person you see every night when you fall asleep, but hide behind corners to avoid?

How do you address the person who kiss you one week, but ignores you the next?

How do you address the person who you claim to hate, but want to care for?

How do you address the person you want to call no one, but who is most definitely a someone?

Maybe you don't.
