Dear _______,
I know it may be immature, but I hope one of two things happens in your future.
1. Someone inexplicably close to you makes a promise that you count on heavily and when it really comes to testing that promise, they just turn their back on it and the best explanation for why they no longer have to keep it is that 'they had no right to make that promise in the first place' or that 'they were too young to make a promise like that.' That way you can really know why what you did was wrong and hurtful and that the only real way to deal with a situation is to keep your promises as best as possible.
or
2. You simply realize that there was never any reason we couldn't have taken a little break from talking for us both to gather our thoughts and just continued to be friends that poured into each other in ways deeper than two people generally do. And I hope when you think about that you shed a tear for all the hell that put my heart through for no real founded reason.
I know the things I did as a result of all of that was my choice, but I have never been hurt like that without some sort of reconciliation, especially by anyone that I would have given anything in the whole world for. The things I did were a pathetic attempt to just get it all out of my head and it was reckless and lame. I'm past that.
I hope someday you come around and realize that if nothing else we could still be incredible friends who have an amazing time together and learn something new every time we talk. I hope you realize that that isn't something that you just have to throw out at some point. It can continue forever without becoming a more serious relationship and that's all I wanted.
I pray for you every day. I want nothing but the best for you.
And no matter how far you try to keep me from you, I will always love the hell out of you. You are my best friend and a nearly impossible act for anyone to ever follow.
-Michael

i hear ya man, i know i don't have the whole situation and to be fair i don't think i need it to say what i want to, i want to say i hear you. i know this letter ain't for me. but just like a song born out of emotion or a poem that's burning from the inside out i understand when there are things that if you don't say them you will be sick. and it's good when we say these sorts of things are said to know that someone has heard them, especially when our greatest hope is that one person in particular will hear them but the chances of that person responding in silence are high.
i have put a knife in a few trusted hearts, of this i am deeply ashamed. i have had a knife in mine. i know mine are probably some of the last useful ears on the list but i want you to know that at least someone was listening...
