Going from spending nearly every waking moment with you, to only seeing you not even once a month is hard. There are so many times where I want to call you and have you come over, or meet me for something to eat. Only being able to text or FaceTime is frustrating when there is so much I want to tell you. We have gone through so much together that being apart for so long is hard. College has been the most amazing experience ever but sometimes I feel it is missing the memories I should be making with you.
There are so many days that I wish you still lived down the street from me. There are so many days that I wish I could pull up next to your car in the student parking lot and laugh at your brother asleep in the front seat. I am happy we both decided to follow our dreams but at the same time I wish our dreams led us to the same school.
Of course, I am making new friends and new memories that I would not trade for the world but, they still are not like the times I got to spend with you growing up. They will never be those awkward apple store pictures at the mall, manhunt games down the street or our softball games in high school. The idea that this is what life is going to be like for the next few years to come is kind of discouraging. It makes me wonder if the distance will become too much. If we will find new people and fall in love and never want to go back to the place, we used to call home.
I hope that is not the case, and I know I will try with everything in me to never let that happen. I want to have you in my life for as long as possible. I still want you there at my college graduation, my wedding, my baby shower and whatever other milestone you can think of. I will not let the distance of different Universities come between us. I know it seems a little frustrating now but I know things will get better. I know there will be a time where we can both be home for the same weekend or finally some free time in our busy schedules for us to meet each other half way. I know we will make it work because when we were eight years old and making those friendship bracelets to signify being friends forever, I know we meant it. I know that when we said we would be in each other weddings, we meant it. And I know that even though it is overwhelming at times, it will get better. I know that we will be best friend’s forever. Thank you for being the greatest person in my life thus far and continuing to make me smile even from miles away.
Do not think for a second that I will ever let the distance come between us, I will see you soon.
