Natalie Found

The way I found you was neither dramatic nor elegant. Tracking you down to the last place I suspected to find you, and acquaintance we shared. Now someone I owe so much too. You asked me if I was drunk, guess I should of expected that. When intoxicated we try and live in the past. Our first talk in so long felt not like I thought it would. Awkward, uneasy. Even thought it was me you believed I was someone else. The one who did not care. How wrong you were. We laughed, we cried but still felt uneasy. I didn’t expect you to forgive me, how could you? After what I had done I wouldn’t of forgave myself. I always did think you were the better person out of us. Then you proved it. Many nights shared tougher as the lost and found. God you were a tease sometimes. Sometimes its like I’ve know you my whole life, then sometimes were like strangers. Can you ever know someone in our situation? I hope I will do one day. I just have to hope, you will always be there for me.

Hi Shackford,
I really felt for you. I have been in this situation
so many times, you tend to think people remain as
they were when you last knew them, you don't think
they will change. When you meet, you hope to
rekindle what you had, then it all goes wrong. The
amount of old friends, I wish I had never contacted.
Its a horrible feeling.
Take care.
Jenny.

I think this would work really well if reworked into a poem!
