I'm realizing now, it was inevitable to happen. I mean, you're at your university, making new friends, meeting new love interests, with a whole new city to explore. I'm miles away at my own new stomping grounds, doing the same thing.
I don't blame you, and I hope you don't blame me.
College is not only busy, it's just... different. Our lives were so in sync when we were in high school - we had the same classes, the same lunch period, the same free periods and the same friends. When we went off to college, a good time for me to pick up the phone and call you was a bad time for you, and vice versa.
And that's no one's fault.
I want you to know, though, that I think about you and our friendship a lot. You were the best example of a good friend, and I still see pieces of your character and personality in all of my college friends.
I cherish our memories and I know you do too. I'll often catch myself looking back at old pictures and smiling, or reminiscing on memories as I pass our old hangout spots. We spent so much time together you pretty much can't forget me.
It's been two years, and I don't know why I've let this wait for so long, but there's something I want you to know...
I am always here for you - whether it's tomorrow, or the day of college graduation when you're freaking out about moving back into your parent's house in our quiet little town. I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to, or need a ride home from the bar, or need to cry, or need someone to grab lunch with.
No matter how much college may have split us apart, I'll always be willing to put it behind us and get back together.
