How Could I Ever Forget You

A Touching Old Letter of A Boy to her Former Best Friend

How Could I Ever Forget You
Orland Batongbakal

Well, how can I forget you? I've tried to, but at the end you still comes back to my mind.....

When you've gone away, I didn't know why....

I've tried to approach, but you kept running away....

You've placed a wall between us, yes, the wall works, yes, I've been far from you, but that wall made me eager to reach on you more....

The time came, I intended that the wall to be torn down and it was torn down....

I thought it was totally torn down, but I found out that there was a little part remaining....

The part that hindered me to come closer, the one that let me feel that the wall was still on its full height....

The wall was around you, there was no lowest point....

I tried hard to to destroy the wall but I can't find a weak point....

I've learned that the only way was to pass through that wall, and I need a ladder, and the ladder works....

The ladder helped me enough to pass through the wall....Now, we're in this together, exchanging stories again to each other...

The time came when we need to part ways, yet, we are all in this together....

We should face our own ways, own but together...

Yes, you are a most trusted friend of mine....

You did not fail me when I needed your help...

Yes, our deal was supposed to be not true, but I felt it was real....

Once we again exchange our stories, and in that you've uttered something, I thought it was a kind of a joke, but later I've realized that it may not be a joke at all.....

I might clarified my suspicion when we didn't get in touch for so long....

That hurts me so bad as if I was left behind, I tried to get in touch just to prove I'm still keeping my promise to you...

I was about to tell you things that are amazing, but you are not there to listen to what happened....

But ways to reach you became narrower....

As some are telling to me: "Get the logic out and do the impossible".....

I realized that that I should find a way to reach you and it works.....

These past few days I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say, and I don't know what I am feeling....

I really don't know if our friendship will have next chapter or a next level.....

I intend to, but it is all up to you.....


Author's Note: I wrote this seven years ago (2010 to be exact) to a friend whom I deeply cared about and was sent to her through email. I had been in constant communication with her since the time I left home for Louisiana in 2009. This note was part of the exchanges I had with her from March until April 2010. I was worried that time that I might have said something that might have irritated her (again). Well, silly me it turned out that she was just so overwhelmed with countless school works! When she decided to send me a message that time,I was just overjoyed that I decided to come up with something that I intend to send to her "randomly" in the middle of our exchanges. The intent of this note was to remind her that our friendship has been through some trials and I would do anything to preserve this friendship. I also intended through this note to give a hint that I was thinking of asking her if something beyond our friendship could be possible between the two of us.

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.
