A Letter to My Friends

I've done this several times before. It helps me, even if it confuses everyone else. If you are a disinterested passerby, you might not want to read much farther...

Editor's Note: You refers to the friends as a whole and you indicates a specific individual.
Dear Friend(s)

I miss You sooooooomuch. But everytime I run into You, I wind up saying something stupid, or pestering You beyond belief, or randomly embarrassing us. I'm sorry. I just wish You missed me too. Then I wouldn't mind so much.

you left for Kenya, of all places. I was going to invite you over for Christmas cookies, but you won't be here. What am I supposed to do?
you are so frustrating. I don't know her, or if she likes Australia, but you could at least make an effort to keep in touch with other human beings. It wouldn't really hurt either one of you.
you are such a doll. I'm soooo glad I've gotten to know you as a person. I never disliked you or your sister or the guys, I just could never connect with You as a group. You were kind of clique-ish. But I've gotten to know you as a person, and it's been one of the biggest blessings God's sent me in the past year or so. I pray for you, and him.
you are a very different person than who I originally thought. I hope you're growing, I know you need prayer. you two will be okay; I'll buy a set of salt-and-pepper shakers yet.
you are a very cool person. I'm glad I met you, even if you have a lousy vocab. that doesn't include decorous or spiffy.
you are so far away. I miss talking to you about serious and silly subjects alike. I hope you get that package, and it cheers you up. I hope you can visit for Christmas and hang out.
you are so grown-up and little-girlish at the same time. you're very good at just talking and not putting me on the spot. I know you think you need him right now, but patience is a virtue.
you stopped and said hi! you have absolutely NO idea how much that cheered me up. And I really liked your t-shirt last Friday.
you are getting better. Can you keep it up? Can I stop being so scared?
you didn't shun me! and you didn't look like it was a major pain, either! I think our relationship is somehow better now that I see you about three times a year. Weird, but true and not necessarily a bad thing.
You guys are so special. My guys are the coolest people in the world.
you confuse me sometimes. I'm glad you two are so happy.
you should have been able to come the other day. She would have been happier, and goshdarnit, I like hanging out with you.
you aren't somebody I knew very much, but one of my passwords is based on you.
you amaze me. The thing I've always like about you is your ability to start a conversation with anybody. you're so outgoing, and you don't forget people.
you are so funny. I've seen you quite a bit, but you're always on your way somewhere. Maybe I'll call you this week.
you had better watch your step. I like you, but...

Thanks for listening. I just needed to talk to someone who cared. You rock. ~Megs
