Dear Somebody

Dear Old Friend

Dear friend who moved away,

Hey. Remember us? We used to be best friends. It's been a few years since you left us, but we've

never forgotten you. I wonder about it a lot, actually. If you've forgotten us. We used to do everything

together. The three musketeers, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. We never let anything come between

us. Until that one time. I don't even remember what happened. But I just ignored you. If I had known

you wouldn't be there with us for the rest of school...I wouldn't have done that. After that, we did

make up. And then we had one more year together. When second grade was over, I hugged you

and said, "See you in the fall!" But I didn't know that I wouldn't see you again. A few weeks later, my

mom told me that you had moved out of state. Third grade felt so wrong to us without you. It took a

few years for us to adjust without you. We still got holiday cards from you for the next few years, like

we always had. I remember one Christmas Eve morning I was crying because a card hadn't come

yet. I went into my room and sobbed because I thought you had forgotten. I heard my mom call from

downstairs that mail had come, and there was a card from you. I remember how happy I was. I had

wrote you a letter and sent it with our holiday card to you. I never got a reply. Then the next year, a

card never came. And the next year. And the next. I haven't gotten a card or any means of contact

since that one year. And I know you've forgotten us. We still miss you. And I wonder, if I were to see

you and walk up to you, would you recognize me?

Do you remember us?
