Dear G.O.D.
Many years ago, 20 years ago in fact, when I was in the first years of my teenage-hood, I had a best friend. I don't know that I was his, yes "his", best pal but we spent a great deal of time together laughing, watching movies, walking home from school together and just having a terrific amount of fun. We were just good friends.
The fun came to an abrupt and painful end when a new girl in the neighborhood developed an interest in my friend and to capture his attention. I suppose she made some false accusations about me. I did not possess the backbone to defend myself and paid for it dearly. The next year was torture at the hands of my former friend who had gone from trusted companion to someone I didn't dare speak to for fear of ridicule. I tried very hard to forget those years wasted on my lost friend and the misery I had been in at that time and for many years did not think about him.
Lately, I have found myself reminiscing and pondering the things that have brought me joy in the past. Just a few days ago, I remembered the wonderful times he and I had. That night I "googled" him and found a few websites for his place of employment along with a few pictures. I really do miss my smart, fun and funny friend. I am truly happy for those successes of his that I was able to read about online. The months I spent with him were some of the happiest times of my life. I understand that things change, so I know that he may not be the person I remember, but I would really like to catch up now that we are older and less fickle. I was unable to tell if he is married or involved, which matters only because I do not want to create domestic issues and I tend to believe that were I happily married and an old female friend of my husband's sent him a letter I may be a slight bit uncomfortable. |
