To You (You Know Who You Are)

Dear Friend,

I miss you.

I don't know how we got to this point or why, but it sucks.

I know we are all guilty of doing crazy, stupid, and selfish things at times and it's so easy to be angry, hurt, and frustrated. To place blame and point fingers. Forgiveness? Not always so easy. Shouldering our own responsibility for events?. . . Sometimes even harder.

But I realized something today.

Just because we make mistakes doesn't mean the people who love us should abandon us. And I think you have had enough of that to last two life times. I'm sure it's hard to expect anything different from people at this point. But this time it is.

I made you a promise and it's a promise I intend to keep.

I'm not going to walk out on you. You can push me away. You can avoid me. You can take me for granted. I'm not giving up. Know why? Because that's what you do when you love someone. I won't let you use me. I will stand up for myself. But I will never walk out on you. And no matter how angry and hurt that I am (and truth be told, I have been VERY angry at you and very hurt by you lately), I will always be here for you.

Maybe one day you will get it and just accept it. (Hell, maybe one day I will too and I'll stop being so hurt by things....)

I know that I'm not even close to being a perfect friend. I know there have been times that I have hurt you and I am truly sorry.

But I know not everyone is as lucky to find a true friendship like we have. It's worth far more to me than carrying a grudge.

So when you are ready, know I am here. I have always been here and I always will be.

I made a promise that I intend to keep.
