I feel like I have recently been neglecting my friends and I need to tell them how I feel, I think I express myself best through writing. But I wanted to know if it would be awkward to express how I feel about them through writing, this is the first thing I want to say to one of my friends:
To my friend, **** ********,
I never quite, and perhaps still won’t, understand your love of football. I have finally gotten my head around it and I have you to thank immensely to that but I don’t think I will understand it in such a way as you. Why I mention this is that when I first met you this was the barrier between me and many other people my age, but you, being by far the most genuine, nicest person I have ever met somehow came to be my friend. We were both so innocent and kind, you still are now, I just want you to know that though we don’t say it an awful lot, in fact we don’t say it at all, that I think you are the greatest friend I have ever had. Not just because you are witty, intelligent and kind but because you have almost always been there, no matter how popular or unpopular I was, and I can only say thank you for that. I admit I have been jealous in the past, your social ease around people and your natural likeability isn’t easy to live up to, however I realised a long time ago that you are truly unique, I will never meet another person as loyal as you and that is the biggest compliment I can pay to you. My only advice to you would be to never change.
Yours faithfully, ****** *****
