"My little flighty friends will come and go. You will be my friend for a long time."
I've been feeling a little lonely lately. Maybe it's just the feeling that you always get after you've just finished a show (or in this case, two shows), but it's been too long for that. That's not the problem.
Maybe it all started last Tuesday.
I was at middle school rehearsal. There were about 20 minutes to eat lunch before we started. And I had no one to talk to. No one. I just paced around and ate my sandwich. I've never felt that way at a middle school rehearsal before. Until KR arrived at around 3, that is. Then, everything changed.
I realize that I'm becoming distant with many people. I seem to have lost almost all contact with the people who have graduated from QV who I have known. I recently was talking to MS and SS and felt like we hadn't talked in months. Which we hadn't. I end up getting so focused on schoolwork that during school I've hardly talked to any of my friends. My letter correspondences have seem to come to a halt.
KR texted me at around 9:30 last night. Normally, I would have told her good night unless she had something important to say, but I felt like I wanted to talk. To have a conversation. We talked about all kinds of things, from college, to her trip to NYC, to French. Then, out of the blue, came the touching line.
"I miss you"
We both knew the meaning of this. I miss her too. We talked emotionally for a little bit, when she said the quote at the top of the page. At 11:00, we called it a night.
The truth is, I miss everyone.
