Dear you,

I guess the nice part of a memory is that we can constantly revisit it and remember how it was.

Remember that we were ok. Remember that all the laughs were real. Remember all the butterflies were there.

It’s selfish to tarnish them. To think that you lied all that time. You were honest and I was too, and then we just grew up. And you don’t think less of me. And I have to constantly remind myself if that. You haven’t forgotten me yet. Maybe you even smile at the memories we share, because I do.

I know you moved on, and I know you’re happy and it made my heart hurt for awhile there. But I realized that that’s all I asked of you. I just wanted to make you happy. And the painful reality is, you’re happy with where we went together but you had to take the other path.

And I stood at our crossroads a little broken and lost. But when I found my footing I realized I had just gotten used to you but I didn’t need you.

And when our roads crossed again, for just a few days. I miss your shoulder but I saw your smile, and it stings but you’re at the red light right now, and I have the go ahead.

I just want you to know, I don’t think less of you. My heart still loves you. My memories still smile at you.

And if you care….any part of your heart, I want you to know I’m happy, I’m happy you’re happy, and I won’t forget you. Never.

Thank you for helping me get to where I am, and thank you for seeing me. I wish you nothing but the best.

Love you friend.

Sincerely, me.

Dear you,

I do regret. I regret leaving and not looking back right away. I regret feeling the butterflies is stead of your faithfulness.

I regret not waiting it out. And I’m sorry. I was a jerk. And while I’m happy with where I am, I regret how I got here. I shouldn’t have left…..or at least I should’ve figured out a way to leave without breaking you.

You were my best friend…..I’ll never forget that. But we did grow up as you said. Maybe I should’ve waited for you to be ready to stand on your own but that’s the past.

I guess over all….I just wish you the best. I wish you well on your journey. And I wish you never forget how you got to where you are.

So let’s make a promise….

I won’t forget you, you don’t forget me.

Sincerely,

Me
