Dear You,

                I thought about you again today. It’s kind of funny, in a painful way, that I never could have believed myself capable of having my thoughts so full of a boy. And me of all people. Every moment I have free, and even those I don’t, every single moment I seem to spend thinking of you, even if in passing. It isn’t fair, really. It hurts, and presses on me, inside my chest somewhere, and makes me feel anxious.

                I don’t see you every day, which is a good thing, I guess, though I would like to see you more. Still, I think if we went to the same school, it would become unbearable. For me, at least. I don’t know about you – you always have been hard to read. I guess I see you enough... You know, living in such a small town has its perks.

                There was one time today I managed to forget about you for a merciful half-hour. In physics, we were allowed to fill balloons with helium and tie them to strings after our lesson was finished. Needless to say, as one of three girls in a classroom of helium-breathing, balloon-launching, static-shocked boys, I had fun. I laughed, and forgot, and the weight went away. But then you had to come back to me, descending on my mind like a leaky balloon. I feel strangled and choked.

                You don’t know about it, I guess, and I can certainly never tell you. My closest friends know, naturally; I can’t hide anything from them, but it stays in the art room, and never leaves except when it’s (and by ‘it’ I mean you) trapped in my mind. Or trapping me, rather. They say I have a chance, and I should try, but I’m sure I can’t make myself do it. You deserve better.

                Anyway, I’ll see you in my dreams (yeah, you’re in those, too).

Sincerely, Me

This one's made up. They don't have to be complaint letters, just hopefully glib, smug, sarcastic, insulting...ore perhaps sweet and gracious, just not angry...anger's a bore.
