“Err hi, it’s been a long time~” I hesitated. And finally, I pressed the send button.
“Wow, I actually sent out this message,” I thought in my head. To be honest, I have been thinking about you, but I didn’t know how to get the conversation started.
Perhaps I was just so afraid of “disturbing” you and walking back into your life. Yet I am so glad that I mustered the courage to say “Hi”.
I thought we’ve drifted apart, but thank you for being here. It’s been a difficult period, really. I haven’t told anyone, cause I don’t know how to. It’s difficult. But, you know, thank you for being here.
Thank you for being interested in listening to me and learning about who I am. It isn’t easy to sustain a conversation with me and I might not have shared with you, but your presence means a lot to me.
Thank you for noticing. Thank you for doing the things you do, with me and for me. Thank you for being willing to compromise, to try places and things that I like or suggest.
Thank you for paying attention to what’s happening in my life, to the things I love and loathe. Thank you for remembering my birthday and other significant occasions. Thank you for remembering. Thank you for recalling all of these.
Thank you for laughing together with me, even though the things we shared might not be really funny sometimes. Your laughter is contagious and it makes my day. You might have never noticed, but I smile a lot more when you are around.
Thank you for apologizing when you mess up something (and even if I might do the same, with you around).
Thank you for offering me your largely undivided focus and attention, the majority of the time I am with you. And for returning my phone calls and texts, in a timely manner.
Thank you for valuing me as a friend, even though we haven’t been talking for quite a long while.
Thank you for staying. Thank you for being the same someone whom I knew, before everything in my life changed. And I thank my lucky stars that I still got you, in my life.
I thought we’ve drifted apart, but thank you for being here, for me.
Note: Inspired by a friend whom I haven’t been talking to for quite a long while, but I am glad one of us took the first step to do so.
