This is a collection of poetry about one person, his name was Kyle. 

Dear Kyle, 

You were that last moment of childhood emotion. A fleeting crush that consumed me throughout our senior year of high school together. You were my friend and maybe I read too far into it, watching as all my friends paired off with someone else. It hurt, more than I admitted to all the people who knew, but it was never your fault. Considering everything else that happened that year, I think we came out of it all pretty okay. And unlike the couple of crushes I had during my formative years, I don’t regret this one. No, it was different, exhilarating, and exactly what I needed to experience before being let loose on the rest of the world.

Dear Jay, 

As bad as it sounds, I regret you. I regret spending five months going back and forth with you just to be thrown away. I regret letting you back into my life the way I did, and I wish I made a better choice when that time came. You were fun, and there was a point where you were all I wanted. I was young, dumb, and wrong. You were not the fit for me, and I don’t think we will ever meet again. But thank you, because if it wasn’t for you, I never would have realized how much more I’m worth. How I deserve to be someone’s first and only choice. 

sincerely,
