A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

So let's ignore each other, try to pretend the other person doesn't exist, but deep down, we both know it wasn't supposed to end like this.

A Letter To The Friendship That Turned Sour

We had the best friendship, we were the opposite of a sour patch kid. First we were sweet, now we are sour (and trust me, I know how cheesy that was). I'm not really sure when this happened or why it happened, for that matter, but now we're here and I don't know how to fix this. Often times, we called one another "soulmate." We just...clicked. I've never known a friend like you. Someone that I got along with so well and told so much, so fast. Both of us, keeping our hearts so guarded. I think that's what opened me up so quickly. It started in the blink of an eye, but ended just as fast.

Even though everything turned sour, I miss you. I miss our late night conversations. I miss our constant state of "should we order food?" I miss our library dates. I miss our laughter together. I miss our dinner dates. I miss the "I hate us" moments and I miss the "I love us" moments. I miss the future plans. I miss our no judgment talks. Like I said, I miss you. I'm sad that we'll never go on our beach trip together. Or to that party we swore we'd go to. We won't be at one another’s weddings. We won't ever have another one of our crazy adventures, which is just plain sad. Nowadays, people have stopped asking me "where's _____?" when they see me. They've realized that we have recently gone our separate ways.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that things took a turn and we have gone our separates ways. I wouldn't mind if they took a turn to join back together on the same path once again. I feel like if we just talked, instead of avoiding our differences, we would be fine again because I feel like that is just the kind of friendship that we had. If you wouldn't want to, I understand. Just know, that I am here. Everything happens for a reason. You know how I'm a firm believer in that.

When it comes to everything happening for a reason, our friendship definitely did. You taught me so much in such a short amount of time. You taught me that it's okay to trust another girl and to actually befriend one! Not all girls are crazy and not to be trusted. You were one of them. You taught me that it's okay to let other people buy stuff for you. You taught me that it's okay to cry in front of others. You taught me that there's a lot beyond the surface if you choose to deep down. You taught me that I can make friends in the least expected times, even if I feel that I've lost it. Or even if I feel completely unwanted, someone does want me. Thank you for being you and thank you for everything.

Waiting with open arms and (maybe) some ice cream,

Me

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.
