Growing up calls for a lot of losses. I think we are all aware of that. However, one of the hardest losses that we have to deal with is the friends we lost along the way. Whether it be distance in the geographical sense or the connection sense, we all have those people who have drifted away. Well, to those I’ve lost long the way, this is for you.
When someone asks me how you are doing, the hardest thing to say back, yet the only thing I know to say is “I don’t know.” Even though I am unable to answer this simple question, please know that I still think about you. I wonder how you are doing, yet too scared to ask because of the awkwardness of being so distant myself. You used to be my go to, my outlet, my best friend. Now, you’re just someone I throw my hand up in the air when we walk by each other – that’s on a good day. Know that I wish the best for you. I want you to succeed in every aspect of life you come across. I wish you the best endeavors. My hope for you is that you are doing great.
Everything happens for a reason. People come and go in our lives and sometimes, we just have to let it happen. I wish I knew the reason as to why I lost you along the way. It just seemed to have happened. I know one thing is for sure and that is that I am terribly sorry. Sorry to have lost such an amazing person I once had in my life. Sorry that I do not keep in touch. Sorry that I can’t even answer the simple question of how you have been. More importantly, I am NOT sorry that you were in my life. Even though we do not talk now, you are a huge part as to why I am who I am. For that, I thank you.
There isn’t much left to say. It’s hard to come up with words to people who you don’t even know anymore. All I ask is for you to continue to change lives, because you sure have changed mine. Continue on with your life and pursing great things. This may seem far fetched and unfair, but if you need anything, I’m here. I know that seems like a million years ago, but I am.
