A letter to Sapphire

Dear Sapphire,
Hello. I hope you are doing well. I see you are still shining like you always have. You haven't changed a bit have you. I know I have changed more than you remember me by. I'm not the brown sorry sap that has taken everything at face value and muddies on your life anymore. I know because I am not in your life at all. You most likely found someone just as shiny as you are, like how I was.
It's hard not to miss you. I was once a shy pink, then you gave some of yourself to me so I may become a shiny gold. It was a magical time, filled with limitless potential. Then somehow you grew distant, you drifted away, I mixed with red and you didn't stop me... from then on- I broke. I became that jealous brown because of red.
Nearly everyday after an explosion of red from my overdose, I made you a somber purple, made you get away from me as I wanted you to come closer to the sunset like me. I was too distraught at the time that I made you something you aren't. I plead and apologized to you, hoping we can be the same again. We both know that will never happen- The red between us is too intertwined. Without you stopping me, without you being a part of my life, I inched closer and closer to being black.
But a shiny teal, offered a hand to me. I grabbed like if my life depended on it, and soon I became closer and closer to brown, then to bronze. As I slowly recovered, I did my best not to remember the red you and I share, did my best to not inject with blood red. It's never easy, love and friendship are never easy. There were times where I sometimes got red again, only to get help back with Teal and Emerald.
Im not so sure if we can ever be friends, Sapphire. To this day I still think of the red and orange that burned our bridge between us. Sapphire you can never be forgotten, you shaped me to be that shiny gold, and you are also tied to the red that made us separate. You are still shining, I'll be shining soon enough, and when that day comes... I hope we can live on without the red between us.
Sincerely,
Rose Gold.
