Bittersweet U

Someone I've been teaching for a while now sent this to me recently. I am posting this here because it serves kind of like a footnote on how far they have reached in their story telling capabilities. Of course, I am proud as well that someone I've been teaching can write such a powerful piece. Cheers.

I thought u would understand. I thought u'd be different..... U build me up to believe.......to be better....U shattered me... So hard.......

I poured my heart into u...yet you drained it away anyway...in my f*ing face. I thought I knew U. It's like I was talking to a different person the whole time. Well, f*** me for trying, right?

Wishing u dead is too easy so instead, I hope u live ur life all alone...because u don't know how to love. All ur friends will move on with their Significant Other's  and You'll be attending wedding after wedding, standing there like a fool. U'll be the best uncle any parent can ask for and yet, U will never hear the word 'Dad' uttered to you. U'll be just you. Such an amazing yet flawed human. At least, you can get to keep your mantle....... 'Hopeless Romantic'. I'm sorry I ever bothered you...I hope that mango float you're getting now is amazing...I hope you'll have a great time tomorrow... lastly, I hope you can fix urself because if anyone does end up with you, she is the luckiest woman ever...Sucks balls it's just not me. Bye U.
