Dear Old Friend

A goodbye letter to a friend.

95
Dear Old Friend

Dear darling, this is Good bye. The fighting is over with no explanation. You have already said your goodbyes but this is mine. I'd like to start by saying my thanks for our friendship. Thank you for trying to be there for me for hard times. Thank you for the adventures, our perfect McDonald's meal, photo shoots, drives and every happy memory that came with. The nickname darling will always be yours. I will cherish these memories for the rest of my life. Nothing seemed to matter as long as we were doing it together because it meant we would make fun of the situation or make our own fun out of it. Thank you for being the closest thing I've gotten to a sister.

The things you taught me. You taught me that mental strength is more impressive than any kind of physical strength. Every thing that put you down you found a way to get back up and keep going. You taught me that being there for you family is more important than anything else. And working hard always pays off in the end. You taught me that competing for boys is the worst things friends can do to each other. Actually just any unhealthy competition between friends is the worst.

What you didn't teach me was how to close myself off and to make myself small so that you could feel big. I learned how to work through everything on my own. I learned that when things get really hard you walk away from it. I had to learn how to realize that you no longer wanted me, that I was no longer good enough to be in your life. You gave no reason, no explanation. I know you used to care I'm just not sure when it stopped but it did. You said we would be civil when we ran into each other but I never realized that it would mean complete silence. I never realized that you could so easily get rid of someone. You held on to all you ex-boyfriends but you let me go easily. Someone once told me that no one will ever replace the people that once were in your life. I will never be able to forgive you for the pain that you have caused me and yet I still wish you the best. Goodbye darling.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
