I Miss My Dawgs Part 2

Part 1

So I wrote two posts...then deleted it, I'm not too sure why. I wasn't embarrassed about it or anything, I feel like it was something I had to do. Kinda like when you write a letter to someone, but then you don't mail it to them. You do it moreso for yourself, yeah...that's it. I was reading my old posts and stumbled upon this, which inspired me to title this part 2.

I miss you...from the trouble you got me in to never being able to beat you in one on one.
I miss you...you were the Shaq to my Kobe, my Westside ride or die, you taught me how to slow dance.
I miss you...late night walks, looking into your eyes and feeling a sense of comfort I've never felt before.
I miss you...annoying the heck out of you because I didn't know how else to let you know I cared. 4 am conversations because you're a wonderful friend. iMessage connect 4 instead of paying attention in class. Why are things so different now?
I miss you...sushi dates because no one else will indulge with me. Ranting back and forth to each other and counting on hilarious replies.
I miss you...you used to be around more.
I miss you...driving range, dessert runs, late night conversations in the car.

I dunno...part of me tells myself it's as simple as sending a "hey, what's up, how've you been?. But something inside me won't let it be that simple. Part of me asks the question to them that you're probably asking me: well if you miss them, why don't you just reach out to them? I dunno, I really don't...things change, people change, situations change. Sometimes timing just isn't right...sometimes distance is healthy...sometimes, space is necessary. I guess I'm banking on the fact that everything will reveal itself in time...cuz with time, comes growth and new/different situations and opportunites. I don't expect any of these relationships to be like they once were, but I'll always have the memories. I do have hope that these relationships...can mend, change, improve, revive...all with time. Patience.
