Here's To The Friend Who Walked Away
Amy Ruschen

Dear Best Friend,

I wish you the best - I honestly do. No matter where we end up in life, I will always have nothing but happiness for you. I will have nothing but love for you and positive things to say about you. I will be in your corner for all walks of life. Even if you don't do the same... Even if you walk away and never look back...

I spent years building a friendship with you, we made memories, we said we would be "friends forever." After several years, you walked away from all of that and you haven't looked back. We had a tiny little fight and you gave up, but I still think about you everyday.

I hope that you are successful in all areas of life. I am rooting for you to achieve your goals and live out your dreams. I wish you the best in your relationships and new friendships.

So, just know, I forgive you for walking away and you will always have a place in my heart.

There is not a day the goes by that I don't miss you and wish that you would pick up the phone and talk to me. I see what you have been up to on your social media from time to time. I look through old pictures of us and hold tight to those memories. I really try not to be bitter and hateful to you for walking away. I pray for you daily and I pray that we can somehow fix what has been broken.

We used to talk about having kids together, drinking wine on a random Wednesday night, going on trips together, and always having each others backs. We planned out the next ten years of our friendship - and now that is all gone. But, I do have this to say to you: I still hope you enjoy becoming a mother and that you get to have wine nights whenever you please. I hope that you find the joy of traveling all over the world. Most importantly, I hope that you have someone to be there for you when you fall, someone to support you, love you, and have your back one hundred and ten percent.

You have moved on, made new friends, and left me in the dust. It's hard for me and I wish I could rewind to the way it was. Whatever happened between us changed our friendship. Maybe I made a mistake, I dropped the ball, I hurt you, and I apologized. You did with that apology what you pleased -- But it wasn't what I expected. Whatever lead us to go our separate ways hasn't been mended and you show no signs of wanting to mend it. You shut me out and disconnected with me. I understand that you were hurt and now I am hurting too -- I will let you be and root for you from afar.

When the time comes, that you MIGHT want to talk, I will be here. IF you come back around, I will welcome you with open arms. We will have a lot of things to work through, but just know that you are worth it. The memories I made with you are worth the work to fix this beacuse I love you, friend.

Love,

The Friend That Won't Give Up On You Yet

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.
