Dear Old Friend,

Long time, no talk. It’s hard to believe we’ve grown as far apart as we have, that you’ve become just another number in my phone. There are many things I wish I could tell you, so many times I’ve wanted to text you and tell you about something that happened in my life, the kind of thing that I used to tell you in a heartbeat. We’ve grown apart, moved on to different friendships and relationships, but there’s some things I want you to know.

I think about you everyday. I think about the laughs we used to share, the memories we made together, and what life was like when you were in it. These memories are instilled in me forever, part of the movie that plays over and over in my head.

I want the best for you. I want you to be endlessly happy. I want you to find the joy and the missing pieces we always used to talk about. You were such a large part of my life for so long. I would never wish anything bad upon you. You deserve the world. You smile, I smile.

I will be here for you, always. I’m just a text or phone call away, and even though we aren’t as close as we once were, I’ll always value your thoughts and opinions, and I hope the feeling is mutual. No matter what we go through in this life, I will always be your person if you let me. You can count on me.

You’ll always mean something to me. You’ll always be important to me. Over time, people change. When you’re young, everything is like a whirlwind, and sometimes that change hits us all too fast, and that’s okay. We grew apart, and that’s okay. But know you’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Maybe years from now, the stars will align and God will bring us together again. Until then, I wish you every happiness this life can bring.

Love always,

An Old Friend
