Dear Lost Friend

Once upon a time, I — your then friend used to be a small part of your grand life.

The world used to notice us, talk to us, and even try joining us. With the advent of social media, our friendship was visible to even those who barely knew us.

On multiple occasions, we have even affirmed this—

You are.

Though story of every friendship is special, our story is weirdly special. The special part is how long you managed to consider me your friend and the weird part is why.

By the way,

Do you remember how we met?

I am guessing you don’t. Never mind.

This letter is only to let you know that —

Your jovial nature is attractive.

Your carefree nature is contagious.

Your decisive nature is pleasantly surprising.

Your smartness is desirous.

In this letter, I must you tell that —

You are the extroverted one who comforted me in an unknown group.

You are the introverted one who let me share deep thoughts.

It is your presence which made my surrounding pleasurable.

It is you who understood my anger and silence.

It is your phone call that made me stride the wheel of life.

It is your reply that made me initiate more conversations.

It is your inadvertent smile which made my day.

It is your tranquil company which made evenings perfect.

Remember sunsets ?

Hello dear friend,

Thank you.

Thank you for understanding my solace, and making our time together exquisite.

Thank you for bringing out all crazy and unimaginable actions in me.

Thank you for just being there.

Our lives will present us a mixture of all sort of friends — some go away, while some stay.

And, it is not wrong on your part to go. I understand why you had to go — there are many others like me, who deserve your beautiful friendship.

After all,

It is your friendship which complements my friendship.

So, my dearest lost friend,

Thank you for being you. So I could be me, and we could be us.

PS:

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I’ll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see
I’ll be the light to guide you

Count on Me, Bruno Mars

With Love
Someone who remembers, and will always remember
Your friend
