To the friends I don’t check up on very often:
It used to be so much easier, right? The days where we were all in the same place, doing the same things, chasing the same dreams. Those times that we took for granted when we thought we would never walk different paths and spend more time apart than together, they’re all a vivid memory now. Life gets hectic, schedules change, one hour lunch breaks boil down to 10minutes, calls are less and 4-worded texts buzz day in and out. But where’s that one text from the friend who used to check up on your everyday? Where is the phone call you received every night discussing the day at length? There are days I wonder if we still matter to each other as much as we used to. Sometimes it’s difficult to picture the fleeting time against the fleeting friendship. But then I just want you to know, there are days when I feel that even if I haven’t seen you in a while, I think of you all the time. And someday we will run against time in white and red, feel the adrenaline rushing through our veins and relive those priceless moments.
To the relationships I took for granted and the ones that took me for granted:
Come to think of it, these “for granted” relationships are the ones that left our pillows soaked, cheeks hurting and well, taught us the most important lessons. Some people are meant to be temporary, they aren’t bad people, just their presence in our life was timed. I’ve been in the temporary spot for someone, you’ve been in the temporary spot for me, I took someone for granted and then someone took me for granted. It’s a cycle, a vicious one for that matter. But I’m grateful for those empty promises, for the soaked pillows and scarred wounds, they remind me of what I shouldn’t accept and what I shouldn’t do to someone else
