I'm sorry I can't physically be there for you. I'm sorry that when you text me at 2am because you can't sleep, that I don't notice until the next morning because I was out partying. I'm sorry that you were used to having me by your side through everything and now I'm hundreds of miles away.

I want you to know that it kills me to know I can't lessen your hurt when you are sad, especially because you have to be alone through it. I hope you know that though you are physically alone, you are not alone because I put your problems before mine. I do my best to text you back and give you advice, even though its not always what you want to hear. I want what is best for you, and I know your tough times will pass.

Please don't be scared to share your problems with me, no matter if it be over a stupid boy or a fight you had with your mom. I know it may seem that I am drowning in homework and social obligations, but your well being means more to me. Remember that even if I don't reach out to you, its not because I forgot about you or because my problems are bigger. I want you to reach out to me, and know you are never wasting my time or a being burden.

I am counting down the days until I am able to come home and visit for the holidays. I can't wait to give you a big hug and drive around to every fast food restaurant, while blasting some provocative rap music we think we are so cool to know every word of. Just because I moved hours and hours away, our friendship will not be broken, and I will never let you feel alone.
