The Unsent Message (unsent message to lola)
You’ve composed a message to your ex, but you can’t bring yourself to hit send. Is it better to say nothing, or to express what you’re feeling?

If you don’t say what’s on your mind, you’ll never know what could have been.
It’s been five years since you left, and I still haven’t mustered up the courage to send you that message.
Dear Chelsea,
I’m sorry I never told you how I felt. I was too scared to say anything, and now it’s too late. You were always the one person I could count on, and I never told you how much that meant to me. I hope you know that I always appreciated your friendship, and I want you to know that I love you.
Sincerely,
Your friend
We all have them: those unsent messages that we’ve written but never sent. They sit in the drafts folder of our phones or computers, waiting to be sent…but we never do. Why do we write them? And what happens when we finally send them?
“I’m sorry for what I did. I know it was wrong and I’ll never forgive myself. But please, forgive me. I miss you.”
The messages we never send are the ones that haunt us the most.
If you’re looking for Leslie, you can try emailing or texting her.
If you accidentally hit the send button on an Instagram message before you’re ready, don’t panic! There is a way to retrieve unsent messages on Instagram.
