Three years ago I graduated with my best friend. She and I were really tight.
We were family. I've never been as close to anyone else.
We went to different High Schools but come Grade 10 we had never been closer. We rarely saw each other in person but would easily send and receive hundreds of texts a day to each other. We were bright and busy. We had plenty to talk about from our activities and we were equally interesting to talk to.
Grade 11 we started to drift apart. We got too busy for our own friendship. I didn't really notice then. I did have a lot of my own problems to worry about last year, I guess she did too. We were out of sight out of mind.
Grade 12 now. My problems are bigger but there are less of them. I was always the type to be constantly thinking of something. With less things to think on I went back to texting my best and sometimes only friend. The problem is that it's only one sided. I don't get replies. If conversations happen they're short. Span over 5 minutes. Too short. I feel empty. There is no one to share my mind with. No one that is so close, so tight. So equal.
Readers today may think this is strange. It is. But I hope I read this in the future and remember the feeling. And remember my friend. And maybe even send her a text.
