Dear Ana

By: Ash

Dear Ana,

You say you are my best friend, but how can that be? A best friend is always there when you need them, always knows how you're feeling and how to cheer you up. You can always talk to them and know they will understand, but best of all, a best friend would never hurt you! It is true, you are usually with me, you always know how I'm feeling, and you're always talking to me.

But there's something about you Ana, how I know your not good for me to be with. You are trying to hurt me! Sure, you tell me you're only helping me, and i listened to you. I listened to only you! But why are you trying to hurt me? How can i know you are bad for me, but i cant get away from you?

And when we talk, its not how best friends talk. Best friends share in the conversation. But with you, you just yell! And I, well i listen, and take it of course.

It feels better now though, we don't argue so much anymore, and I feel like we're growing further apart. Maybe you were my best friend for a while, but I've met new people. People that were important in my life, until i met you. But they dont want to run my life and hurt me, so I dont need you anymore! So i think,it is time that our friendship should end. But dont worry, you wont have to miss me. I'm sure I'll always remember our time together. If not, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Goodbye,

Ash
