To Dominic

Dear Dom,

It's been a while since you dumped me, huh? Almost a year. Time went by so quickly, it seems like just yesterday you sent that text.

I just want you to know that, after all this time, I forgive you.

I know I broke the rules we set, and I'm truly sorry for them. I know me telling you those things that I did was part of the reason you dumped me. And, honestly, I would have done the same thing had the situation been reversed. You're still one of my closest friends and, yes, I'm still a little hurt you dumped me over text. It might have been convenient for you, with you being in JROTC and no doubt have been really busy, but if anything, I wanted a call if you were going to dump me. But yes, I got over you, and, well, I like someone else. I'm not saying you don't care about me, not at all, but Ethan makes me feel loved. Like, really loved. I care about you, Dom, and I forgive you. I know I wrote a note on my phone just days after the breakup, stating that maybe one day I'll forgive you. And I forgive you now. For almost a year, I've nursed a grudge that you dumped me. But I've been thinking of it, why you broke it off with me, and it makes sense. I hope you can come back to NY and visit us, your old friends, again. I miss you, no, we all do. My heart has healed, and I'm ready to see you again without my heart breaking all over again.

Your friend,

Katie
