Dear Friend,

I know we haven’t talked in quite awhile, but I have a few things I have to say. First, I must admit that sometimes life gets ahead of me and days apart turns to years apart and soon I am wondering how time could fly so fast. Now that we’re in college, life has been hectic. Questions are always thrown my way, and I am expected to know who I am and what I want to become.

Many times I wish I could go back to being a kid. I remember how we talked about what we wanted to be when we grew up and giggled over our crushes. Life was simpler back then. The only thing I really had to worry about was whether I was going to eat Lucky Charms or Frosted Flakes for breakfast.

Anyways, I am getting ahead of myself. What I want to tell you is that I miss you and I think about you all the time. It’s hard to accept the fact that our paths have not crossed in a long time, but I know that you are doing amazing things. Every time I see your pictures on Facebook, I eagerly click through them just to get a glimpse of the wonderful life you’re living. Every time I see your Instagram posts, I smile because you always look so happy and carefree. Every time I click through your snap stories, I see so many new faces, and hopefully, these are the faces of lifelong friends. I am proud of you, and I know that you have such bright things heading your way.

But if there ever comes a time when you don’t feel happy, when the light in your life grows slightly dim, then please come to me. I am always here for you. If you ever need anything: advice, a hug, a friend, I am here. I am only a phone call away. And I know that may seem weird, considering we haven’t talked in ages, and we aren’t as close as we used to be, but I’ll always be your friend.

Don’t forget we shared endless laughs together. The memories I have shared with you are the memories that will last a lifetime. I remember how we became friends. I remember when we giggled over our crushes and when you told me about your first kiss. And I remember how we grew apart during high school and things were just never the same. But you know what? That’s okay because throughout those four years I knew we never stopped caring about each other. Sometimes life just gets in the way and we find ourselves growing up and changing in a million ways. I cannot wait for the day when I see your name in shining lights, and I remember the day I told you so. I told you that you would do something truly amazing. I am so proud of you, and I love you. I am so happy that you’re happy, and I’ll always be here for you.

Love Always,

Your Forever Friend
