Hi... How have you been? From Facebook and Instagram, you look great. You're summer is definitely going well.

There is something I've been meaning to say for a while and there hasn't been a proper time to say it. I hope this is able to clear some air because five really long, 180 character text messages won't do the trick.

I apologize I haven't been as present like I used to be. I was never the person to neglect my friends, I was always the one who would message their friends to check in on them or start a conversation and make plans. I always went the extra mile to see and spend time with my friends. I put my friends first in every regards, I still do, but not like before. Clearly now I have not done what I was so good at.

People always say that very rarely do you keep your friends from high school as you grow older. From the moment I met each of you, I knew I would want you around for as long as I possibly could. You brought out the best of me, gave me someone to confide in and taught me to grow up from my shy and insecure motives. You took this immature New England girl and raised her up to the high heavens in confidence and self-esteem to the New Yorker she is now. I've become a better person from you.

It's hard not able to see you as easily as I could before now that I'm over 200 miles away. It's not easy knowing all of the memories I am not going to be a part of, the late night talks I'm going to miss, the shows we could have seen together or the trips we could have taken.

I did not think any of my friendships that I have held for the last eight plus years would get like this. I've made excuses and put other things or people before you. I thought I could merge my two worlds together and create a happy harmony. I wanted so badly to keep what I had here and from what I have in college. I might not have made the right decision for certain situations, but the decisions I made were right at the time.

I didn't mean to cause hurt, anger frustration or confusion. I apologize for that.

I miss you. I miss you so much. There is so much I want to tell you and share with you, but since I've been MIA, I feel like I am intruding. I can't decide when I want to have you as my friends; that's not fair to anyone. I want to be your friend for as long as you will let me because friends come and go, family stays forever.

No matter where life takes us, the paths we walk down, the new people we meet, the ones we leave behind or the places we locate to; I will always be your friend. I am always here. I will be back sooner than you think and I hope I can see you.

I want to share all the moments I've experienced. I want to hear and listen to your moments, too. Let's pick it up right where we left off; there's plenty of time. Time runs out when we decide to give up. I've been a really poor friend, but let me show you the girl you've missed these last few, very long months. She's pretty great and has matured in magnificent ways.

Hi. I'm Zoe. What's your name?
