Dear F****,

There is not an day that goes by that I don't relive the beauty of our innocent childhood. I don't remember a time where I didn't feel safe with you or comfortable being me. You loved every flaw, every laugh, whether I be sick or in health. You sat with me when I cried and vice versa. You piggybacked me home from primary school, sat with me when I grazed my knee and stood up to all my bullies. I still see your laugh and your smile, supporting me in every venture.

But, I became blinded. Taken of our innocence, we were torn like Romeo and Juliet, families at war. We watched one another grow in silence, always guardians through thick and thin. You saved me many times without my knowledge. Poisoned, I believed the rumours about you.

I didn't understand your love for me. When you told me and my family, it felt strange. Nothing was the same and we were once more separated, though cursed to see one another daily. I decided I would make you hate me for I didn't want to break your heart. I was protecting you, scared that if I let myself feel I would cause you great pain.

Wel, now I'm feeling. You weren't my first kiss, but you were my first love. As I watch you from afar everyday, loving someone else and yet knowing with all my heart that you still hold affections, I die a little inside. You taught me how a woman should be treated, how I should be cherished and loved.

So this is my thank you.
