All things unsaid, 14 years later
Do you remember the time I tripped in the student center and split my pants? Everyone laughed at me, including you. And let's not start with Migs Basilio. You knew I had the biggest crush on him and you never even talked to me after you guys started dating. Pepper's death was the biggest blow to me. Migs was about to comfort me when you pulled him away. Do you know how pathetic and lonely and humiliated I felt? I never went to Pepper's funeral, not because my mom won't let me. It was because I didn't want to see you and Migs there.
Lia, you and I... we're somewhere in between.
You leave the country without letting me know (I had to find out from Rita) and now, years and children after, we're still somewhere in between. We're good. We're better than good, we've got history.
I do thank you for being my friend at one time. I still remember the trips to your house (I still could smell the pepper in the air). You introduced me to creamed corn with butter. You tried to make me appreciate wrestling (I do now. can you believe Chris Benoit?)
What I write in here, what I say, does not mean I ostracize everyone else. Some people get the spotlight, some people are left to obscurity and some I leave to my own memory because I'm selfish and I don't want to share the best memories.
I was watching Ugly Betty and the episode was about Betty being too hard on her friends. I think I was too hard on you. I think I should have talked to you about how I felt rather than keeping it in. I'm sorry if I hurt you too.
