To The Old Friend I Never Said Goodbye To

I'll always remember you.

To The Old Friend I Never Said Goodbye To
Word Press

To my old friend:

It's been years since we've talked, but I recently found out that I'll never get that opportunity again. You're the first of the people I went to school with to cross the golden gates. It's still so shocking to me; it doesn't even feel like it happened. But it did.

I never got to say goodbye to you. I don't know why we stopped talking. We didn't have a fight or a falling out; we kind of just drifted our separate ways after high school ended. We were on good terms -- as far as I know. We just... stopped talking.

I want you to know that you were a great friend -- not just to me, but to everybody. You were a joy to see in the hallways in school. You were always laughing, always being goofy and always up to talk to anybody. You were always so kind to everybody you encountered, and that's one of the main reasons you were so memorable.

I don't know if you've changed, because I haven't known you these past few years -- and for that, I am sorry. From mutual friends have told me, I can guarantee that you were the same lovable person that we all came to know! I have nothing but fond memories of you and good things to say about you.

I'm sorry that I let us part ways. You were a true friend, and I had the opportunity to continue our friendship. That is a lost opportunity now. It's something that I deeply regret, and something that I cannot undo. I also cannot undo the fact that I never said goodbye.

So, that is what I want to do. I want to say goodbye to you. I want to apologize for drifting away from our friendship. I want to apologize for never catching up with you. Most of all, I want to tell you goodbye. I will miss you, my old friend. Hopefully we will see each other again someday. I will never forget you. Have fun in paradise.

Goodbye.

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.
