Dear person I thought was waving at me but was actually waving at the person behind me,

Hello. I thought you were waving at me because I was right in front of you. I could have sworn we made eye contact when this terrible situation happened. I understand that there are miscommunications; however, I do not understand how something this tragic could happen.

In the few seconds that this situation occurred, a situation that will haunt me for the rest of my life, I could have sworn I saw my life flash before my eyes. Did the same thing happen to you? Probably not because you knew exactly who you were waving to, and I did not. I thought I was your intended target for that wave, even though I knew that it did not make sense for me to be the intended recipient.

I believe, since you have seen me at my lowest point, that we should be friends. That way, I can totally rewrite our history and tell all my friends that the wave was meant for me because we are friends. Friends wave at other friends. I really hope you will want to be friends after this. Ever since that day, this is the only thing I think about. My friends and family are starting to get worried because they have noticed a difference in my way of life.

I do not wave at anyone, not even my friends or family. I cannot do this because I do not want there to be another mishap. It would be very awkward if this situation kept happening more than once, don't you think? I wonder if this is what you think about all day, too.

I really hope you do not sit around and laugh about the one girl who waved at you even though you were waving at someone else. That would not be very friendly. I bet you could see the horror in my eyes as soon as I realized that you were in fact not waving at me, but at the person behind me. I want you to know that I am deeply sorry if I offended you in any way.

I cannot wait to hear from you soon. I hope all is going well.

Sincerely,

A misinformed girl
