Letter to a friend

It was so nice to see you. Even if it was in a dream. My question is why were you in my dream ? We haven't spoken in over a year. We keep in touch just enough for me to know you're happy where you're at. We're both getting married and moving forward in our lives. Riddle me this too. In my dream I knew we couldn't be together , but it was still so good to see you. So why , when I knew we couldn't be with each other and was still perfectly happy with that , did it hurt so much when I woke up ?

It reminded me of when we used to hang out. We were both so happy and carefree. Heck we were still best friends in my dream. We never did this in real life , but we were watching a parade. Getting ready to go to some huge competition. While we never did that in real life , it was the same kind of fun. Maybe it's the way you left that hurt so much. Maybe waking up suddenly and unexpectedly from this dream hurt the same way. Reminded me how you left.

Maybe it's not you I miss , maybe it's just our friendship. What I do know is that you'll be on my mind all day. I'd rather you weren't , but we were good enough friends that I know you will be. I will say this before I close. Thanks for providing me with enough good memories to not dwell on the way you left or the things you said after you were gone. Thanks for that one last gift you gave me.
