Dear Bestie

By Manogna Boppudi

Dear bestie,

I carried and am carrying this guilt. I know if you were here, you’d say “ I understand so just be happy and guilt free”. There were so many memories we were yet to share and so many conversations we were supposed to have. We had just a tiny little amount of time to share and I have so much to regret. I was 18 and foolish to not understand the meaning of a bond.

I gave up on our friendship because someone else was constantly linking us. I wish I didn’t. It wasn’t until that day I realized how foolish I was. I really wanted to talk to you, call you, say I am sorry, but you didn’t give me a chance.

I know it’s been 7 years already and I still miss you. I never had a second chance to talk to you apologize to you, so here I say “ I am sorry for everything and especially, for being a terrible friend”. I hope wherever you are you are happy.
