Hi there, what's going on
Life is pretty crazy but I was thinking of you
You know that song we used to sing at the top of our lungs
Yeah I remember those times
We did so many stupid things back then
But so many fun things too
I look back and think of you so often
I remember staying up late talking
Laughing til we cried
Talking about real stuff
and accepting the good and bad
in each other
I remember that even if you didn't agree
we could still get over it and we were fine
Now, here we are
we have kids and spouses and life has moved on
Life isn't quite how I expected
Don't get me wrong, I am happy
I love my family more than words
I am grateful for all I do have
But I pictured celebrating our kids birthdays together
I pictured crazy fun get-togethers
Our kids didn't have to be best friends
But they still had fun together
I pictured girls nights while our husbands would stay home with the kids
I pictured us there for each other during all events
Good or tragic
Beautiful or sad
I pictured us together
I never really had that, you know
I moved around a lot and so friendships mean so very much to me
Because I never got to keep friends for longer than three years
And we made it well past three years
And then something happened
And now you are somebody I used to know
My heart aches still
I think of you often as I said
I really wish my kids knew you
I often pictured them running to you with hugs as well
Because we weren't just friends, we were family
And I have found it very hard to make new friends
Because I don't think I can go through that again
This isn't a guilt trip, I promise
Perhaps you were supposed to be just a season
I hope you are doing well, I do
I pray for you and your family
I miss you
I miss our friendship
I miss the memories
Know my heart when I say
I truly wish only the very best for you
And if you want to talk,
You are always welcome
Because no matter the distance and time
I'll always hold a special place in my heart for you!
