Dear David,
The truth is I wasn't willing to put up with you anymore. It does have a lot to do with the rest of my family not wanting to put up with you anymore. I didn't like hearing that I was the one who had brought you, dandelion on their lawns, to the party. I didn't like being reminded that it was weird that we should still be friends.
Again to tell the truth, we weren't ever friends. We were lovers. I didn't know how to be your friend when that part of the relationship ended. I don't think I know how to be friends with anyone, whether we were friends first or not, after that part of the relationship ends. But you and I were never friends. We started off our relationship dating and we ended it dating. We never were friends in there. We were too wrapped up in loving each other physically and mentally to get over the damage breaking up did.
I'm not sorry I had to tell you to stay away from everyone. I'm not sorry I'm in a place where you can't get in touch with me. I need this distance. I want this to be over, really over, and it hasn't been even close to being really over until now.
I'm sorry.
Lily
