Highschool Sweetheart

Dear my Highschool Sweetheart,

I met you my freshman year

You were a junior and I was wary of you

I never thought we would fall for eachother

But the very next year we were inseparable

You softened up to me let me see your true self

And I became entranced by the person you were

You and I were so much alike in every way

We understood each other and counted on the other

Then you graduated and I was left at school without you

It was difficult but we made time for each other

We would text everyday to feel close

And we made weekends our days together

You did your best to stay with me

But one day you needed to move away

It was hard and almost ruined us but you came back to me

We made it through and became stronger

Now as my graduation approaches a challenge lingers

Do I follow my head and go to college

Or do I follow my heart and stay with you

I wish to do both but I know I can't do it

The choice is fast approaching and I have made up my mind

I need to leave to better myself for you and our future

We can make it though if you wish to

We have done it before and can do it again

You don't want me to go you want me to stay

You rely on me and can't bare to see me leave

You are scared that i might find someone else

So you are prepared to end it all and let me go

I don't want it to come to that

I still need you to be my protector and partner

We can stay together I will always stay faithful to you

You don't need to be afraid of losing me

But I understand that you can't be happy if I'm always gone

Because I love you I will let you go

To try and find happiness without me

But I will always love you and think of you

When my time away has come to an end

I will return and search for you

And if you wish we can start a new as if I was never gone

But only if you will allow me to

I want you to be happy with your life

It doesn't need to be with me

But look for someone who will treat you right

And who will always be there for you when they are needed

You will always be my highschool sweetheart my first kiss and first love

I just wish you are happy with whatever choice you will make

Either to stay with me or to start something new

Sincerely,

Teresa Alcantar
