Michael: you were the first boy who ever called me pretty, and the only thing I really remember is that you gave me a hickey in the woods and I got poison ivy later. I spent a significant portion of my life thus far pining over you; I was insecure and you were good at what you do. Even at fourteen. In the end, though, I was a better person for having endured you.
Aaron G: I barely remember you at all. You were a republican and we bickered a lot, but you were and still are a very funny and chivalrous man. Almost the entirety of our two-month relationship was spent texting because you got yourself grounded for the summer. You're still a pretty cool person.
Aaron A: I never dated you, but you were infatuated with me. Actually, you were infatuated with the idea of fucking me very hard. You dropped the word "love" to try to suck me in when all it really did was terrify me. I'm sorry I lied to get you to leave me alone, but you were just too much for me. You're married and a dad now, though, so congratulations.
Aaron E: Up until Isaias, you were the best one. You still are an incredibly kind and romantic man. You're a wonderful artist, and I still have the things you drew for me. I needed you for the six months we were together. I met you at the hardest time in my life, and you helped me. Thank you. But when I got myself back, I didn't need you anymore. You just weren't my type. I'm sorry; it was never your fault and you will always deserve better than me.
Cameron: I hated you for a long, long time. I cried for months over you. Our relationship was not healthy. I hope you are a better person now that you are a father. I hope your daughter Isabel changes you into the type of person that you should be. If she does, then maybe I'll be proud of you for the first time.
Colin: Good old Boggs. When we dated, I barely even liked you. It was a long time after that you mattered to me. We danced this line for a long time and I made out with you every weekend in my trunk. But you were too scared to commit to me, and I was too timid to break it off like it should have been done. I'm sorry that we dragged out the part where we figured out we didn't work for too long.
Eugene: I owe you so much. It's hard to believe I dated you two years ago. You were a huge waste of potential. You were very smart but had no interest in academics. You had no plans for college and were content to be mediocre for the rest of your life. You were nice, and I was lonely, and I am sorry you wasted an entire summer on me. I wasn't worth it.
Joe: You were the last one before I found Isaias. You actually encouraged me to try to get a job at BR in the first place. You were very flighty and hard to please, and not knowing where I stood with you turned me into a watered down version of myself. I hope you sort through your emotional issues because I still think you could be a very smart and successful person.
It's hard to believe I called them what I call you. "Boyfriend." You're more than that to me. Not fiancé, not yet, but there has to be something to describe you that shows how serious I am about you. I just want to tell the whole world how I'm gonna love you forever.
I suppose I'll settle for "the one."
