To The Friend I Left Behind

Remember when we were joined at the hip?

To The Friend I Left Behind

I am so, so sorry.

They always tell you that throughout high school, you lose friends. You rarely go in with the same people you go out with, but for some reason, I thought we'd be able to survive that. We somehow just fell apart, but I take the blame because I barely noticed until we had stopped talking completely.

I got too busy, and then I shut you out. It was not on purpose. Never did I mean to hurt you. Never did I mean to stop paying attention, but my priorities weren't in the right place and you didn't deserve that. Friends don't leave other friends behind, and for that I am truly sorry.

We used to be inseparable. My Timehop is constantly filled with inside jokes no one remembers, and pictures of us; and all of the things we did together come back to me. I get waves of nostalgia now and then, and I realize that you were one of the best friends I ever had, and will ever have. And it breaks my heart, because so much has changed, and these are all things I imagined we'd be doing together.

I know we'll run into each other again some day, and it will be awkward but know this: I am always rooting for you from the sidelines. I check up on your Facebook from time to time, and I see you're doing great things with your life. You are becoming the star I always knew you would be!

I might not be involved in your life, but I am always there if you need me. I'm always there if you need that shoulder to cry on, and that friend that knows you almost as well as you know yourself. I'd like to thank you. For being such a good friend in high school. For being supportive, and caring and loving. For being the kind of friend I didn't deserve at the time.

Thank you, so much.

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.
