When Friends Grow Apart

Dear Old Friend,

I thought about you today. Wondered how you were doing. I almost went to your house but decided that I shouldn't since it's been a few years since we've talked--let alone seen each other. I figured you were too busy with your family celebrating your brother's graduation. How is he doing? Still the football star? He's probably going off to some amazing college to play. He was always so talented at the game. Anyway, I'm doing well. I actually went back to school. I know I said a billion times that I didn't want to, but I have a dream and a purpose that I could only fulfill by getting a degree.

I was thinking about some of the old times we had together. You know, like when we would hang out in your room at your parents' house and watch movies and listen to music. I remember when you would do my makeup and hair before church on Thursday nights. I even remember that time you had a Superbowl Party at your house. It was nice to be among fellow Broncos fans.

I really don't understand why we stopped talking. It seemed like things were going well for us. We didn't fight that much. I thought we had a good friendship going on for us. I told you my story; you told me yours... then all of a sudden, you unfriended me on Facebook and just stopped texting me.

I'd really like to know why, but I'm too afraid to ask you, worried that the reason is as simple as we were in different places, or maybe I'm scared that there really is a big reason why and you just don't want to tell me.

I hope you're doing well and just wanted to say I miss you and maybe someday we will see each other again.

Yours Truly,
An Old Friend

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.
