To those that were with me
Dear childhood friends,
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I've forgotten about you all.
I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch. I'm sorry that I left with no warning.
I'm sorry for not cherishing the time I spent with you all. I'm sorry for being annoying,
For being weird, for not being there when you needed me,
For not staying behind to see what could be.
I miss you all. You see
I don’t want to make a sob story
But, every single one of you- I miss you. I miss your smiles, your laughters,
Your presence, the happiness that you gave me.
I miss all of our old promises, all of our old dreams and hopes.
I miss all of our jokes.
I miss all that we sought after.
You see, a part of me still asks about that happily ever after
But, I never liked the answers.
So I just act as if I’m a lancer-
Piercing through what I wish could be, as if it does not matter.
I suppose what I really want to say is this:
Our time together was bliss, and though I fondly reminisce,
I must let you all go.
You all, though important to who I am, have caused me to forgo
All that is in front of me all along.
It is time for me to be headstrong.
I won't regret all that you gave me. For that, I thank you.
Thank you for the memories, thank you for all you have endowed,
Thank you for the laughter, thank you for the support, just thank you.
I wouldn't be who I am without all of your kindness, and I just hope that I'll do you proud.
Thank you for everything.
With love forever,
Your old friend
