I lost you fourteen years ago. I'm not sure how or why, but somewhere along the way our friendship just vanished.
Did we just grow apart, or did we disagree and just never recover? I wish I knew...I wish I could remember.
Maybe I lacked the bravery and the knowledge to keep out friendship growing. Maybe it became too hard and with so many other things in life, I just gave up.
I hate to think that I gave up on a friendship that spanned our adolescent and teenage years. Maybe we were meant to part. Maybe adulthood was never meant to be a part of our story. Were we friends simply because our circumstances united us, or was there a spark there that kept us close? Sometimes, I wonder what our friendship would look like today.
I watch you from a distance now. I'm not quite sure I let go, but I am no longer holding on. I haven't spoken your name or heard your voice in almost a decade...but I'm so proud of you. I've seen who you've become. You have bravely and honestly pursued the life you have been given and accomplished so many things that you always wanted to do.
I know that you will never read this, but if there is one thing I could tell you, it would be this...I will always be in the background, standing in the shadows cheering you on.
