An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Haven't Seen In Awhile

An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Haven't Seen In Awhile
Chris Fogarty

Best Friend,

They say that if a friendship lasts for more than seven years, it is likely to last an entire lifetime. Thankfully, we have way more than seven years of friendship behind us because otherwise this distance between us would worry me.

It has been months since we have seen each other, and as each day passes, it gets harder to not see or talk to you. I am so incredibly happy that you know me as well as you do, because it is exactly when I am most sad that we haven't seen one another in such a long time that I receive a text or Facebook message from you, which brightens my entire day. It's hard, going form seeing you every day and talking to you constantly, to only seeing and speaking to you on occasion.

Sometimes, I find myself looking through the photos on my phone, searching for the endless amount of selfies you have left on it in order to relive our glory days and the crazy things we did together. And boy did we do some crazy things. Remember the time Shelia had a flat tire? That memory always makes me laugh. Sometime I watch videos I recorded from the Fall Out Boy concert we went to last spring, because it was the best concert I ever say. And when I am the most pathetic, I stare into the mirror making pancake faces (you know what it means) while thinking of you.

While this time apart has been hard, it's also been somewhat of a blessing. It is true, what they say, that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Not that you're gone. It just feels like it sometimes.

My goal of this article isn't to make you sad. I just need to express how I'm feeling about our separation, not only to you, but to other who can understand and are experiencing the same thing.

It's also an opportunity to talk to others about how proud I am that you are my best friend. My roommates, coworkers, and friends at school know so much about you because I am constantly talking about you and the things that we do and have done together.

This dry spell between us is also hard, because no one understand me like you. You know every one of my secrets. And it's hard not being able to tell you about every aspect of my life or to hear everything about yours.

I can truly and honestly say that I miss you so much. I can't wait until the next time I see you again. I love you Little Baguette.

Love,

Your Best 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.
