#AtoZChallenge : To Friends

Dear Friends,

I hope that you are fine and happy wherever you are. Friendship is one of the best connections that we humans have and I am glad that I have a friend like you. Well we humans always find it difficult to live alone, isn’t it? We always need someone to hear us out, someone who would offer a shoulder to cry on, who would always stand by us no matter how difficult the situation might be. When I think about my life, I wonder what I’d do without a friend. 

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

- Helen Keller

When I was a kid you shared your toys with me. We grew up studying together in the same school. Life was simple then and no matter what you were always there to support me. As time passed by, we had a lot more to share, our problems became more complex. We shared smiles, we shared tears but most importantly we shared our fears. We made fun of each other but when someone else made fun of either of us, we stood together as a team. We laughed when the other fell, but after laughing you would always ensure that I wasn’t hurt.  Thank you every single moment. Your friendship has made my life beautiful. 

Time passed by and the distance began to grow. We have to live in different cities and it is difficult to meet. Social media is always there to ensure that we don’t lose touch but sadly because of the busy lives that we are leading we don’t find the time. 

There have been times when I have hurt you- may be by something I said or something that I did. But trust me, I never meant to hurt you. I always thought you would trust me more than you trust others, but why then sometimes do you believe more in what others say about me than what I do? Please dear friend, let us not let the distance come in between us. I am sorry for all my mistakes. I always hope that when I need you, you will be there for me and I promise that I’ll be there for you whenever you need me.

Love,

Reema
