Dear... Best Friend (You Know You Are)
Hey, I know we haven’t seen each other or even talked to each other in a while but I want you to know that I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and I want you to know that I miss you, not that I regret what happened or want to see you again, just I miss you.
It’s so strange to think that someone I knew so well is now a total stranger to me, that sometimes I go through entire days without thinking about you. Most of the time, I let myself forget because it’s easier, but then I find something - a photo, your gift, the stupid love letters we used to give each other - and the full weight of what’s been lost crashes down on me.
A part of me wants to see you again, to chat til midnight again, to hang out again but all of those feelings become empty thoughts. When I look back now, remembering love isn’t always what it seems, it’s just so easy to forget but this isn’t regret, we had our reasons for ending it, and yours are valid as ever but back at the start, we didn’t need any reasons to fall in love, we just did. The reasons came at the end, everything since then has been about reasons and that’s good, it means that one day, I’ll find someone whom I won’t have to say goodbye to but a part of me just misses loving someone and having them love you back. That’s all. I guess what I’m saying is I hope everything is good with you, I hope everything is great, I hope you have found a love that’s all the things ours couldn’t be but just a small part of me hopes that you still remember what it was like before all the reasons, and that you miss me too.
