"Thats what a friend is for, when your lost in darkness and searching for the light, to help you through those lonely nights, when everything around you fails just hold out your hand, and i'll come running, thats what a friend is for."
-Marty Keith

Dear Friend,

Over the past 11 months, Ive come to learn so much about you, without really knowing anything at all. In a time of desperation, I sought out an escape. I found comfort in an alternate reality. It didn’t matter who I was, where I came from, why I was around. All that mattered was that i was there. I spent countless hours indulged and engrossed in this beautiful distraction. Making friends and having fun. It was all an amazing journey.

After a while, I started talking to people. I put walls up. Molded myself into what I wanted to be and what I wanted people to think I was. But you managed to care enough to break them down. To question, to talk, to care. You made an effort to help me. When no one else would try, you did.

You’re truly a good person and I’ve learned so much from you in these past few months. I hope that you always find comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow your clouds, laughter to kiss your cries, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when your spirits are low, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, confidence when you doubt, courage to always remember who you are and what you have been, patience to accept the truth, and love to complete your life. And until this moment, I never realized how hard it was to lose something I never had; A friend like you.

Love Always; Your Friend,
Romy

P.S.- I really hope that we keep in touch. And if we don’t, Please promise me you’ll always remember that you taught me that I’m braver than I believed, Stronger than I seemed, and smarther than I thought. After all, wheres the good in goodbye?
