The days where we were all in the same place.
We may have realistically known that things would change, but that felt so far away.
Like it could never really happen to us.

Until we grew apart.
Until the moments we spent by each others side grew less and less.
The truth is, sometimes life gets a little hectic.
As kids, you remember planning weddings together, making sure you have kids at the same time.
But life doesnt work that way.
Maybe they meet the love of their life while youre still searching.
Perhaps you just grabbed your dream job, and theyve just had their first baby.
Maybe you finally settled down, and theyve moved across the country.
When we started growing apart, I could feel it.
I didnt want to.
I wanted to believe that as long as we existed, we could always make room for each other.
Life seems to come at you fast as if you blink and your whole world is different.
Its not as easy to work around schedules as it used to be.
There are days where I wonder if we still matter to each other as much as we used to.
I remember our late night dinner runs, our tv marathons on someones couch.
I remember laughing so hard about stupid boys or crying over them.
I remember cheering you on during your big moments, and holding your hand when you needed it.
I remember you giving me your shoulder and encouragement when I was falling apart.
I remember who we were back then and the incredible people we became over the last several years.
I remember that even when I felt unlovable, you showed me that wasnt the case.
I hope we do see each other again soon.
I want to show you the person Im becoming.
I dont know who I would be without you.
I hope I never have to find out.
If I do, just know youre the reason I know what genuine friendship is.
Youre why I dont settle for friends who treat me as disposable.
Youre the reason for so much, and Ill still think about you for the rest of my life.
Even if I dont get to see you as much as I want to.
