To My Long Lost Friend

So this is for you, this is me reaching out.

To My Long Lost Friend
Lily Pimentel

I wish I could go back to the time where our friendship ended or just faded away. I am sorry I don’t keep in touch anymore. Life has gotten in the way. You are probably not sure if this is for you, but if we were ever friends, this is for you.

I wish we could have kept our friendship going because I’ve never regretted being friends with anyone. You helped me through things that I could never repay you for.

Having friends has never been my forte. I have a tendency to push people away because I am afraid to get hurt. My whole life I have had a problem with keeping friends. I don’t know why. Maybe we hung out every day and we just stopped. I’m sorry. I know this won’t make up for the lost time, but maybe we can get back in touch. I need healthy relationships in my life. My goal for 2017 is to make lasting friendships, but maybe I did have a friendship that would last a lifetime, and I just gave up on it. So this is for you, this is me reaching out. I just want you to know that I will always care about you and I cherish the memories we did make. If you ever need someone to talk to I am always here for you.

I know in the past I used to say that all the time, but I really mean it. Life has gotten so hard since the last time we talked. When I am scrolling through social media, and I am not going to lie, I look through your pictures. It makes me so happy to see old friends smiling, but I know sometimes when I’m smiling in a picture it doesn’t mean my life is perfect, so if you need someone to talk to I am fully open to just listen to you. Sometimes all a person needs is for someone to listen to them.

So as you enjoy college, a new job, an engagement, a marriage, a baby, or anything life changing just know that I am thinking about you and I am extremely happy for you.

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.
