Dear Sandman,

You have a way of calming me. You wash all my worries away with one smooth stroke of your beat driven brush. The words you speak lull me into your world, and make it so that I never want to be separated from you. There is something that drags me into you and makes my heart long for your touch. For so long I feared that our connection had gone the way of the wind, that our story was a lost memory. I regretted the day that I severed the bond that we had developed, and have yet to stop looking back wishing that the dance we were dancing didn’t come to the halting end it did. I know now those memories are a continuing story, a book that has a second beginning. I know that these stories are something we can remember until we meet our ends.

Signed,

Star Gazer

Dear Stuck in the past

I don't know if we can be friends any more. I know that you aren't doing this intentionally but you are making choices that I cannot just stand by and watch.  why are you choosing this life? Why are you choosing to throw away a friendship that has been around for years? Maybe you don’t see it has having to be a choice, and I have always said that I wont tell you what to do. But your choices are starting to make it hard for me to be around you. I have a family that I have to take care of now, I have someone that depends on me to make it through the day right now. With that kind of pressure I feel like breaking a lot and I need friends around me that won’t crack under pressure. I need friends around that are making healthy decisions in their lives. This is a letter that I have been meaning to write to you for a long time now, a letter that was killing me to write. We have been such good friends for so long now, we know more about each other than anyone should know.

 

Signed,

The Other Half
