Letter Number 2: To the best friend.

November 14, 2008

We have been best friends since the day we were in diapers. We basically grew up in the same neighborhood. We attended the same institution since kindergarten. We even wore the same clothes back then. When we were kids, we thought nothing in this world can separate us from each other.

But growing up, we realized that life can offer us many different directions. That no matter how hard we try, we have to do different things, be in different places and live different lives.

I understand that you now have Vince with you - a boyfriend and a bestfriend all rolled into one. In fact, I am happy because it seems you have someone you really care about who also cares about you. But what kind of relationship do you have if you never get to spend time with your friends?

I feel like I'm on the outside looking in. I see you, but I can't hear what you're saying. I miss every little thing that we used to do - the silly games and mischief, the laugh-til-you-cry jokes, and the crazy conversations about what we will be in the future. I miss the inseparable twins that we were.

I love you still Yen. Though I may never send you this letter, I do hope you feel my incredible longing for a best friend. No one can ever replace you. For now, time and distance are keeping us apart, but I know ultimately our friendship will always lead us back to each other.

Sincerely yours,

Bestie.
