We all go different places in our lives, school, work, travel and extra curriculars. Although some of these may not be physical places as we grow up we have set "groups" of friends. These are often categorized by how we met them, or where we see them. Unfortunately as we grow up we move, and in some cases we move on. We stop doing certain things and in doing so we stop seeing some friends. It's not intentional and although we try, it's impossible to keep up with everyone. Here's to the friends I don't talk to as much as I should, and the ones I don't see as much since I grew up.
Please understand that although I don't text you often, I see all the amazing things you're doing with your life and I'm proud of you. I still value you as a person and I'm glad that modern technology and social media allows us to see what's happening in each other's lives.
Whether we were friends for a summer or a few years, you had a lasting impact on my life and I want you to know that. I have special memories with you and I still remember all of our ridiculous inside jokes. Everyone that comes into your life leaves footprints on your heart and I hope I did for you what you did for me.
Life gets busy and we're in different places now, but that doesn't mean that I don't care. If you ever need me I'll be there for you, no matter how long it's been. Once a friend always a friend and I'm here cheering you on from the sidelines! We never had a falling out so there's no harsh feeling, we just drifted away and even though that sucks it was bound to happen at some point.
Perhaps one day our paths will cross again and we can make more memories, and if not I'll hold onto the ones I do have and cherish the friendship we had.
