Dear You,
A few days ago I texted you in the early hours of the morning because I couldn’t sleep without telling you how much I miss you. I was laying in bed and thought about all of the things I miss doing like, driving down the highway with the windows rolled down and the music blaring, going to the movies and eating way too much popcorn, and making trips to the grocery store at 12 pm just to get Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food ice cream. All of these memories came flooding in and I couldn’t hold back my emotions.
This past year has been so different compared to our years together. Since 7th grade, we’ve been two peas in a pod. All through high school we were seen together, rarely ever by ourselves. After I left for school I didn’t know how I would do knowing you were making new friends at your school, and I was making new ones at mine. It definitely took some getting used to. Seeing other people on your Instagram, and other people with you at the movies. I’m not going to lie, I did get a little jealous knowing they were seeing a movie with you and I wasn’t there. But I am sure that the feeling is the same for you too, I’ve made new friends here, and I have new people and new memories apart of my life.
Even though its been kind of hard being away, I think these experiences are all apart of us growing up. We learn what it’s like to be separated, and how special the time is when we are together. And we learn to appreciate the FaceTime dates, and the random conversations we have during them.
So though we might not talk everyday, and we might have more people in our lives, just know that you are so special to me. I miss you all the time! But I know that when school is over and we are back together, it’s going to be like we never left.
Love,
Me
