To my one true love,
You were there for me when no one else was. You were good to me. Inside you were cold, but I never forgot my sweater. I waited and waited when you were busy, knowing you were always worth it.
Sometimes when things were rough, I turned to you multiple times a week. I invested my time and money in you. We were always loyal.
Sure, there were others, your neighbors and your competition, but none of them compared; I always found myself coming back to you.
I went abroad and thought about you, nothing else came close. You greeted me when I came back, and it was as if time stood still.
Things were going smoothly until we split for the summer. My internship relocated me, and you weren’t there when I came back.
You blindsided me. I never saw it coming. You left with no warning, I had no chance to say goodbye. How could you do this? I gave you three years of QuickCash and Scout paychecks.
Now I’ve been forced to move on, and your replacement mocks me whenever I drive by. You were supposed to be there in May when I graduate; I was planning on bringing my parents to meet you.
Though I’m grieving now, I know I’ll eventually be okay.
R.I.P. Happy Fish, you’re gone but not forgotten.
Love,
Maddy White
