In my head, you're still a child. I met you through tennis when you were a freshman and I was a senior. I feel like your older sister, but sometimes you're more mature than me. You smack sense into me when I'm being delusional. We don't talk often, but I always enjoy meeting up with you when we're back home. I feel for you. When you talk about school or life problems, I empathize with you a lot. I know it's hard, but I see your full potential. I see the love you have to give. I see how hard you work. Although you may feel like nothing is going right for you, it will work out. I know it will. I love that you love your family. You take on a lot of responsibilities with your younger siblings. You've grown up so much since we first met. Time flew by so fast. One moment we were giggling between tennis matches, and now we're across the country doing adult things. Our little tennis quartet will always have a special place in my heart.

We were in the same high school orientation group and then later in a few of the same classes. We grew closer from being sat by each other. I vaguely recall us clicking pretty well. You seemed to be pretty interested in getting to know me but I know I was pretty reserved. I eventually opened up. You always spoke your mind. You always were respectful. I remember you asked me to get lunch with you one day. I thought of it as a hang out but others teased that it was a date. I saw your friends walk by to peek at us, but I brushed that off. You later joined the club I was involved in. Both of us taking on leadership roles. I wondered why you joined out of nowhere. Through tennis, one of the girls I grew closer with was your friend and she told me you liked me. She said you’d wait for me knowing I didn’t intend on dating at that time. I didn’t get why someone would wait for me. It’s flattering to think of now that I’m older, but at the time I didn’t see what was so special about me for you to say you’d wait. We drifted apart. I have regrets about not checking up on you. When your best friend passed, I should’ve reached out. I didn’t. I should’ve. I’m sorry. You have a good heart. I wonder how you’re doing. I hope you’re well.
You were too good to me. I feel like I could have appreciated you more. Although we didn't work out, I think we were good for each other during that chapter of our lives. I do think we were very different, so our end came at a good time. It hurt a lot, though. I think I've grown up a lot since we parted ways. It makes me happy to see you meeting more people and doing the things you enjoy. I appreciated your emotional maturity. You often reflected and strived to do better. You have a good heart. I wish you the best.
