I haven't done this in a LONG time. So I'll be doing a few successively in order to make up for it..
Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted away.
There are two people I want to address here. They are two of my best friends, mean the world to me, and will probably never read this: Mary Flinders and Nathan LeSeuer.
Mary lived with my family during our senior year in high school, and at first, we didn't like each other much. She became part of the family, and finally we bonded and started hanging out a TON. She decided to stay in St. George and continue her education at Dixie State for a little while, so we moved into an apartment together. These few months were action-packed and fun-filled times, and I miss them dearly. We became best friends and I love her! Shortly later, she moved up to Salt Lake City and we started drifting apart. We still visit each other and have a bid ol' party when we do, but it isn't the same.
Nathan was introduced to me through a guy that I previous dated, John. John's best friend Lucas had a friend from school named Tanno and Nathan happened to be Tanno's older brother. On the second night me and Nathan ever spent in each other's company, we stayed up until 7 o'clock talking about the mysteries of the universe. From then on we were best friends. We dated for a brief period of time, but ultimately, we were the best of friends. We've been through some hard times but have always come out of it alive and together. Recently he moved back to Mesa, Arizona and we see each other very rarely. I miss him a lot. Sometimes, I think he knows me better than I know myself.
So there it is. The two people I would give anything to have back in my life full-time.
