do you know that i still call you my best friend? cause i do. really, did you ever know that i called you that? cause i did. that's what you are. i guess i don't know what else i could call you. it's okay if it's not the same for you. i was always very sentimental and i guess i just get too attached to things and people sometimes. but i think that's alright because you are something worth getting attached to. a
i know that you've made new friends, just as i have. and i know that they are probably amazing people just as mine are. i'm happy that you were able to find such great people that you love, i want nothing more for you than to be happy. i had an incredible time with all the new friends that i made there and i would not trade them in for anyone. but that doesn't mean that they are everything to me, not that way. they are so much to me, practically family and in some ways more, but i like to think that as i continue in my life, that it expands, and that i have room in my life for everyone that i meet. i am not limited, not bounded, new friends don't have to push old ones out.
they were my Now for a while, and still are a part of it. but they could never be my Then, and i wouldn't ever want them to. and it's a different Now right now, it's something that is constantly changing and something i have to keep adjusting to. it's hard, but it's okay because no matter where i go now, i know that i am loved. no matter what place i may be in, i realize that there is somewhere there that cares for me. i personally can't choose one place over the other, because they both contain people and things that i love and that i need, and i can be truly happy in either place. i think i am one of the luckiest people in the world that way, my life has been amazingly blessed.
i loved things the way they were, and i would never change anything about it because it made me exactly who i am today, and i happen to love who i am. you still know things about me that no one else does, or ever will. i still have things in common with you that i don't have with anyone else. there are things i found in you that i will never find in any other person and you fill a very special space in me that is reserved just for you. we have both made tons of new memories in our time apart. but that doesn't mean that old memories have to be replaced. i don't want to say that i have moved on, because i haven't. i've just moved along, i have continued in the flow of my life and simply adapted to the changes as they have come. it's been very hard for me, but it also been very necessary and very wonderful. there is no one part of my life at this point that is more valuable than any other. you are a very important part of my past, and i hope that you, if you'd like, will be an important part of my future. i just wanted you to know that. i was always too mushy and emotional like that.
