Hey there old friends,

I know it has been a long time since we have seen each other or even talked to one another. We had some good times together and made some good memories. There was never any major fight between us, but we still don't talk anymore. We used to be close.

We grew up, moved away or started college. Everyone met new people, made new friends - just somewhere along the way, we lost touch. Suddenly, we went longer and longer amounts of time without seeing each other, drifted apart. And, this is all okay - that is part of growing as people, and that's good. That's what we're supposed to do. We are supposed to find our own paths in life.

Just because we don't see or talk to each other every day, or very often or even at all doesn't mean I don't still think about the times we had. I still check your Facebook to see what's going on in your life and I am still happy for you when something amazing happens to you. I still think about sending a text or message on social media and seeing if you would want to have lunch and catch up. And, maybe I should. It would be great to see you again. It would be good to see how life has treated you, if anything about you has changed: the way you laugh, the way you talk or even the way you smile. I know it sounds silly, but those are the things I remember most about you. Those are the things that made you who you are.

Pictures don't always show what's really going on, or how you have changed. I know the same is true for me too. I don't feel like I've changed all that much, maybe my hair or the way I dress. But I don't notice all those little things about myself, little things that I know you would notice about me.

I still look at old pictures and remember how much we laughed together, or how much time we spent doing silly things and taking silly pictures. Those memories at Friday night football games are some of the best I have from high school. Our group of friends always had a blast together. We were there to have fun, and we did.

So, to those friends that have drifted away, I hope you get a chance to read this and I hope that you are doing well. I hope life is treating you kindly. But, just know that if you ever need someone to talk to about anything, I'm here still. You have me in your corner, always. To this day, I am still on your side and rooting for you from a distance. Next time you come home and have some time to kill, hit me up. I know I work a lot, but I might have some free time to meet up for coffee. I'm always down for coffee.
