dear nikki;

I believe it was a random day in the torture called 'physical education' when we finally clicked. We were both annoyed at the world that had brought us together. Why now? Why then?
Oh Nikki, I'm now glad that the world hated us both. xD
Was it seventh grade year when we had a common goal? Life had pulled a cheap shot and down we went. I rolled over a hill and ended up leaving during that same year. I continued on in life, leaving the people I knew and love behind. All to play the role of the lonely girl.
You were strong. You stood by my side, listened patiently at my raves and rants. I complained about life at a new school, and wrote you a note, every once in a while.
You deserved more. You left me Christmas cards, and I did nothing. It caused me pain that I had such an amazing friend that I didn't look out for.
I knew you were the bond that held Monique, you and me together. You were the venator. You were the boat that kept our lives together.
I didn't realize that the boat had tipped.
Freshmen year came rolling by. Boys, drama, karma, and life were out to destroy our perfect year.
The roles were reversed. I was suddenly the boat.

Nikki, even when the world comes crashing down, remember that someone out there loves you;
I will always cherish the friendship we have. In my darkest hours you were there for me, without wanting anything in return.
I look at you with such admiration.
I wish that we could go back to the days when we graffited our lunch table with sharpies. When we threw marinera sauce at trees. When we stuck yogurt lids under said table to mark the days that had gone by.

I wish we could go back.

Let's just go back to the days before our world came crashing down,
Nikki.
