Promise me that we will be friends forever and ever. That we won't fuck it up.

I feel like I have been waiting my whole life for this email.

You are, and remain, something that will never wash from my soul. I hope now, as your life has brought you success, ambition, and love, that you will once again permit me to call you friend.

I remember when we met. I remember that we were sitting on Jodie's front steps, talking about everything. I remember how hard we tried to get along, when the combinations of our energies was so explosive. I remember promising not to speak, if it meant a promise not to bicker. And it's ironic to me that just yesterday, perhaps while you were contemplating this email, I walked past a bottle of that drink called "Memory" in the store.

I admit that I threw the bottle away when I moved out on my own, but never the sentiment. Welcome back, Princess. I intend to keep that promise as best I can.

Was that from the ex who wouldn't talk to you for so long?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes.

You are so smart.

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

It's a really beautiful email. I'm very very happy for you.

There was more, but I feel weird enough about exposing part of it, you know?

I want to reply, but I want to reply on paper. I don't know, I feel like the effort should be tangible.

Things just feel more real if they're on a medium that can't be destroyed just by a keystroke. Good luck sweetie!

Thanks, hottie pants.

Wow, that's very touching.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I was (am?) totally shocked.

I remember getting a similar letter (though I don't think the circumstances were quite the same) it was very moving. I didn't really understand that person until afterward. Maybe because I stopped trying so hard.

Maybe.

I hate losing ties with people, especially people who are/were so important to me, so this has been a real perk!

Me too. :/

It's so hard, though! Especially with exes, because there's SO much going on there, and so many emotions and everything. Argh!

But when people touch my heart, and I allow them inside me, it's not easy for me to stop contact.

I understand that.. I'm still friends with all of my Ex's but one. And that one I guess couldn't have been helped.. I still wonder about her though. I know you mean more people than that, I just use it as an example because you have more friends than me. ;-)

No, but I know what you mean. It's more heartwrenching when it's an ex, because you've given so much of yourselves...
