Hey you!
It’s been a long while without you now. Six months to be exact.
Six months ago, we were packing our lives up in boxes and loading them into our cars so we could head off in opposite directions from each other. A measly half of a year has separated us from being us. I have got to say, I miss you more than words could ever describe.
So much has changed.
One year ago, we were so connected. A simple text would be sent and minutes later we had our plans made. I would be on my way to meet you within minutes. As soon as we were together, it was instant laughter and talking about everything important to us. We ruled the world (or we thought we did) and we dreamt of what life would be like after graduation. There was never a dull moment when we were together.
One year ago, we were just two girls pushing through our final year of high school. We were about to experience so many new things. Our senior prom was upon us, graduation was near, senior week called our name, and once we got through it all — it was time for us to leave.
I wish it was still that simple.
A month into college we talked a lot; we were adjusting to our new homes and we were both so excited about what we were experiencing. In high school, we were used to sharing with each other everything that happened. I guess it just happened naturally. We both have new friends. I would tell them what I was excited about because they were there with me and you were far away. Now as we’re about to complete our first year of college, we talk less.
You’re still my person.
It’s a comforting feeling knowing that when you and I meet again we can pick up right where we left off. There won’t be any awkwardness because we’re right back in the groove that we had created over the years that we have known each other. We’ll get into our cars and pull out of our driveways that are 15 minutes apart. We’ll pull out onto the roads that we’ve been traveling for so long and drive into the town that we ruled one year ago. We’ll pull into parking spots that are right next to each other, just as we always did. We’ll smile to ourselves as we swing our car doors open. I’ll probably jump on you because I always get too excited when I see you.
We’re back to being us.
We’ll walk into our favorite restaurant already giggling at each other like we always do. We’ll sit and order the same meals that we did 6 months ago. We’ll stay there for an absurd amount of time just recapping to each other what we’ve missed out on.
Distance won’t break us.
One year ago you were my best friend. Now, you still are. One year from now, you still will be.
