A Letter to the friend I will never see again

Change is a constant part of life, and people come and go, but some people leave a permanent mark on your heart. Today I’m reminiscing about the old days. 5:30 AM in my country, and I’m sitting here putting my thoughts down in words that are ringing in my head. I’m sure we all have one of those nights when nothing is wrong, but nothing feels right either, just traveling down the memory lane and wondering where everything went wrong.

Rewind to 2017, I met a person through common friends, not knowing they are going to be the person I will think about my entire life. I thought I’d never see them again. Fast forward a year later, I met the person again at a random place. We started hanging out every day, without even knowing what was happening next. Went to places, ate our favorite food, and just enjoyed our summer vacation.

As time went by, things got better. We often spent time speaking about our dreams, what we want to become when we grow up, what we want to achieve as an individual, things we fantasize about, places we want to travel to, and more. We spent our time laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Of course, there were tears shed on both ends, arguments that made me feel terrible inside out, but at the end of the day what mattered was how we came to a mutual understanding and never gave up on breaking the bond.

Like every other friend, we made promises to each other to stick through each other’s side until we are grey and old. People would look down on us and envy the bond we had. Surprising, doesn’t it? How you become closest to the person you never even saw coming.  Within a blink of an eye two and a half years passed by. With plenty of parties, eating 24/7, arguments, fights, listening to music, long drives around the city, concerts, and traveling, the years just passed by without notifying me that what’s coming next is going to leave me hollow for life.  I have the power of putting my feelings in words and with this blog, here’s an open letter to the person who was my “almost forever.”
