To all the friends that I do not often see.... I still think about you, I still smile at our fond memories together, and even though life has taken us years apart, you will always be a friend to me. To my childhood friend,
Somewhere between our teenage adventures, university lessons and adulthood, we lost touch. Be it that we drifted apart, our geography kept us apart, or that there simply were not enough hours in the day - It happened, but I want you to know that I treasure you still. Time is a luxury that responsibilities have stolen, but our memories will forever be kept safe in my heart. There are days that I reminisce on our school days or summer nights and my heart feels so full simply thinking of the fun that we had. Do you remember the moments that rocked our world? The broken relationships that we coached each other through? The nights that turned into mornings and the conversations that kept us occupied for hours on end? Do you remember the harmless trouble and the unstoppable laughter? We were on top of the world, facing all obstacles head first, as together we experienced all sorts of firsts… Yet soon enough, our weekend plans slowly turned into, “we should hang out soons” and eventually, while we weren’t even looking, silence built a bridge between our hectic lives with only brief ‘happy birthdays’ & ‘congratulations’ wandering over. I know that the reality may sound glum, but my friend, it doesn’t have to be! I believe that it's all just a part of life's journey. I can’t help but think of how lucky we were to have found this friendship of ours. A friendship that has lead us to a whirlwind of treasured memories. Memories and moments that have lead us to this very day and this very second....and while we may no longer be a consistent figure in each others lives, I hope that you know that I care about you now just as I did then. To you my dear friend, I truly want to say thank you. Thank you for laying the foundation of my today's. I hope that you know that it mattered, and you matter. While social media may now keep me more updated on your life than you can, know that I understand (& I hope that you understand too). Adulting ain’t easy. I see you striving to create the life that you deserve. I see you building beautiful relationships and spending quality time with like-minded individuals. I see you, like me, navigating through this hectic world. I see you, and I want you to know that I am truly happy for you. What an honor it has been to be a part of your journey. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that you know that the silence between us can only build bridges, but never truly break bonds. Then, now and always – you matter to me my friend. & If there ever was a day that you needed me... please, don't hesitate...Just say the word, and I would cross that bridge in a heartbeat. True friendships should never be bound by distance or time.
