After reading this title, I know that you have probably figured out that this one is about you. I'm sorry to do this to you but I can't leave any of this unsaid. I know that you don't want me to get sappy and drag out a bunch of memories; I get it. I just feel that I should talk about it. I won't make you cry I promise. Ok here it goes:

Hey There,

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was driving back home after my first year of college. I remember having so many expectations for what the summer had in store for me. I also remember dreading coming back to the life that I had left behind when I began my college journey. Every break that I had come back for before now showed me how much I and the people I cared about had changed. Summer was going to be the longest break yet, and I was a new person now. The thought of my old life meeting the new me was worrisome. I thought for sure that the adjustment would be hard but there was one thing that I hadn't counted on and that was...reconnecting with you.

Before I had left, we were inseparable. I came to you for everything; and you came to me too. I still remember my last night before I hit the road and you were by my side the whole time. I remember us crying and hugging each other for what seemed like an eternity. I also remember how I felt when I watched you drive away for the last time. You were my best friend. You had been there for all of the good and hard times. I had imagined that our friendship would last forever. I never counted on college pulling us apart.

Last year was really rough on us. We made new friends. We had incredibly busy schedules. We developed different interests. Somehow our weekly Facetime videos just weren't enough anymore. I missed having you always by my side and I couldn't help but feel like I was losing you to your new college life; you probably felt the same way.

Then I did the worst possible thing to our friendship; I betrayed it. I put my own selfish thoughts before yours and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. By that point we had stopped talking. I couldn't blame you; it was my fault. I had gotten to a point where I wasn't proud of how things had ended with us. I even got mad at you for not understanding something that was impossible to understand. That was unfair; I know.

With everything that had happened, I never in a million years would have thought that you would be the person that I spent the most time with this summer. I'm not complaining by any means. To say that I had been missing you was an understatement. That being said, I am so thankful that we reconnected. I am so sorry for the way that life had panned out for us before this but I am immensely happy that we found our way back to each other.

I think I needed some time to live without you to realize that your friendship was one that I never wanted to be without again. Thank you for accepting the new me. It might be crazy, but I feel like all of the hard times that we went through made us that much closer now. We never fought before. I think now that we see each other as actual human beings who can screw up from time to time, we appreciate each other more for it.

We have had some crazy times together this summer. From dancing on the roof late at night to lunch dates at the best grilled cheese place ever; I will cherish every one of those memories in my heart. I feel closer to you now more than ever. We are inseparable again like we used to be. Now that I have broadcast our friendship for everyone to see, I will leave you with this final thought. Pretty soon we are going to return back to college. We will resume the life that we had created there. Even though you are hours away, I want you to know that I will always be there for you. Whatever you need; I'll be there. You will always have a special place in my heart. I love you and I wish you the best.

Your reconnected friend
