Guildenstern: Our names shouted in a certain dawn...a message...a summons...There must have been a moment where we could have said no. But somehow we missed it. Rosen-? Guil-? Well, we'll know better next time. Now you see me, now you-

I hope I haven't lost you as a close friend. I value your friendship and I'm glad we finally brought things out into the open like we did last night. It was nice to finally discuss this in a rational manner without outside influences who REALLY NEED TO SHUT UP RIGHT ABOUT NOW AND LET THE TWO OF US DEAL WITH IT. What happened between us last night shall stay between us...I hope.
I'm not going to try to sit here and flounder and make excuses, it's just not right at this point. You are a wonderful person and I value your friendship immensly. But I'm in a situation I have not yet been in and it's scaring me that no matter what I do, I'm going to lose a friend. This scares me, and I don't know what to do. I don't know how I can escape from this situation without making somebody angry. I CAN'T date you. I WON'T date you. I have no other way to say it. I'm pissed at the people who will not let the two of us deal with this subject alone, as it should be, and I'm pissed at myself for letting this situation affect both of us the way it has. Had I been mature enough, or had we both been...I don't know, wise enough, I guess, I don't think the situation would have elevated to the place it is now.
I like you. I do. But I will not date you. And that sucks, because in doing this, I'm hurting you. I hate that I've been put in a spot where no matter what I do, somebody will be hurt. It will happen. I can't stop it, and that's why I've been so reluctant and so...just not very open to the idea because I've been trying to figure out exactly how I get out of this situation without hurting anybody. And now I know it won't work. Somebody will be hurt, and I'd like for it to be you because I know you can handle it. I know that we have talked enough about it to know that yes, you will be hurt, but that you will also be able to still be my friend.
If you aren't sure I'm talking about you, then you are not the person this message is meant for. They know who they are.
I hope that now we can truly just finish this entire godforsaken soap opera and just continue to be friends because I know both of us were much happier before this started.
