Letter #6 "Dear Old Friends"

Dear old friends,

I'm sorry if you feel neglected, but you are not anymore in my focus. I'm sorry if this will seem cold, but if I needed you, I would have called you. I didn't, so draw the conclusion yourselves.

But please, old friends, do not think that you were not once important. I have a very refined taste for people, you were once exactly what I needed. From you I have learned and grew, and for that I will be forever thankful. You were maybe on my speed dial, and maybe just someone I talked to if I  ran into in the street. Nevertheless, you were unique. If I ever shared but a single part of my life with you, you have made your mark, and I do remember you.

Old friends, you may not remember me at all. I may have been someone you hung out with when you were drunk on the weekends, or someone you would see once a month on a gig, but if we just shared a smile, or a look, or if I was holding your hair while you were vomiting drunk, then I remember you.
If you were someone who I considered my best friends, and then after a long time all of a sudden we lost contact, and you think I have forgotten you completely, I haven't. I remember you.
If you were my best friend for the biggest part of my life, but after a single summer, we became complete strangers, I still remember you. And I know that you know things about me nobody will ever know. And also that you will never be able to understand the person I am now.

My life is a book and you were all crucial characters for the storyline, and don't know if you're coming back in the sequels.

Old friends, you are gone, but not forgotten. And all I can say...

Is thank you.

With love,

Cicmila
