a letter to friends
dear friends,
i miss you. all of you.
there are many of you who i see very often, and there are those of you that i see every once in a blue moon. but for anyone i consider a friend, and who i hope considers me a friend, i want you to know that i miss you.
life has been so crazy for all of us… has anyone but i wondered how it got this way? what happened to our weekends? when did we stop being able to call each other on thursday or friday and know that we could still squeeze some time to hang out? when did life start requiring us to plan 3 or 4 weekends in advance? or is it just me (and iris) that have to do that nowadays?
i look thru pictures of us and our good times, and i miss them. i wax nostalgic on memories of not-so-distant pasts, cling onto the smiles and frowns, laughter and tears, triumph and heartache that we experienced. and yet, with each day that passes without a renewal or reminder of those times, the harder and harder it gets to recreate them in my head and in my heart.
so to you my friends i say this: let’s not let these moments pass and fade away. i know i’m guilty of not being a good friend sometimes, but please know that i still think about you, even if i hardly ever drop an email or im or even a facebook/myspace/social network message to you. and i hope to work on it, so don’t count me out just yet.
please say hello and tell me you got my letter. then maybe we can take some time to hang out, catch up, and create some new memories, even if but for a few minutes or a few hours. i think we all deserve time with friends.
always,
-m
