Dearest You,
You have been the recurring main character of her dreams for two consecutive days now. Popping in familiar places, acting like you had something. My question is, what made you special? You had done nothing in her life to earn a spot in her precious nighttime entertainment. Were you thinking of her? Or her subconscious mind was doing so?
Just so you know, she could still feel the ghost of your hands circling around her neck when she called you ‘bayot’ instead of your name back in 4th grade. She could still smell the alcohol you drank on New Year’s Day when you compared your heights. She could still taste the bland flavor of the rain that landed on her tongue when you insisted on walking her home that midnight.
You are a good guy but she knows you would unintentionally have hurt her if she had given you a chance. Yes, it’s nice to be liked by someone, by you but sorry she can’t and won’t like you back.
So please, get the heck out of her dreamland.
It’s the only one of her few joys in her boring life.
(Not) Yours truly,
Marianie G.
