Search Quotes

Dear friends of time lost,

I'm sorry we grew apart. I never meant for it to happen. Sometimes it just works out like this.
We're not each others' first picks for a random food run, a celebratory night out, or a partner to go on a road trip. You're still a great person to spend time with, and when I send you an invite I hope you truly consider coming.
You weren't there for me when I lost my Grandma, but I wasn't there for you during your uncle's final days. I still prayed for you often and sent your family a card. I think of them with you sometimes.


We never fought much, but we never had much to fight over. We would talk passively if we disagreed. It was easy to stop talking gradually and change in our time apart.
I remember when we first met. That time you first introduced me to your family as your friend. The first time we spent multiple hours together in one day. I wondered if we would reach that best friend status. I could see us standing side by side in a "Best Friends" picture frame or smiling together at one of our weddings. I pictured it, and smiled. Soon those thoughts were far from my mind. I started working more and needed to dedicate more time to my classes. You got a serious boyfriend and went to another school.


I still like most of your pictures on Facebook or Instagram. I like talking with family and friends about the good times we had and the plans you made and goals you're achieving. I think about if things were different. Maybe if we became neighbors or worked closer. Maybe if we had more in common.


I'm sorry I'm not the best at balancing time between family, work and school. I'm sorry I don't have a bigger social life to keep you a part of. Time is such a precious gift, but I need to be selfish with it. I've got a lot of growing to do and it's hard to keep up with the lives of my family and friends and everyone thing else going on.
We know we aren't each others' priority, but we still care about each other. I'm sorry I can't give you much, but please know you will always be a part of my life in some way or form. If ever the chance we get to see each other soon or have another day of fun, you can expect me to meet you with a warm smile, ready to pick up where we left off.
Love,

yours truly

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
