Anne's Deep Regret: Secrets, Love & Desire

Tom,

I failed to tell you how I felt, something I deeply regret. I have moved and I'm not coming back and sometimes I wonder if it was prudent to send you a note saying,

'Hey, look I realize this is out of the blue and I doubt you're interested but I'm not coming back to the course. I've always liked you but couldn't muster the courage to tell you. I wish you a wonderful summer and the remainder of your university career'.

I always invited you to places and you always declined, which is great because I realize you don't like people.

When I asked, you really tried. You came to dinner at my house, you liked my friends, and they liked you. (At least, the ones who mattered did). I was expecting a hug when I saw you out in the garden, but all you did was smile. You're loud, and your jokes are terrible, yet I enjoyed them.

As you spoke, I had the opportunity to see your true nature. You chatted on about your childhood, hobbies, favorite books and games; you were the authentic you, no masks. I'll miss you, but most of all I'll miss the opportunity I never had with you. I wish I had told you because you could have felt the same way. You'll make your future partner very happy since you're by far the nicest guy I've ever met.

Anne
