Buddy Holly,

I watched three romance movies back to back, and I couldn't stop wishing you'd say anything to me. At the same time, I also wish we could've have been friends for real, instead of whatever back and forth we had...because in the end, even in the movies, everyone insisted that a relationship founded on friendship is the lasting one.

A lot of my friends are learning this or have learned this with their own relationships. Both married and not.

I'm not saying I want to marry you! Not dealing with that fast romantic shit again....

I just want something real.
