Dear friend of yesteryear,
The times we had were great, and I think of them fondly. It’s great to see you again, and I’m happy you are doing so well. I’m sorry I was in a rush, I wish I had more time to catch up… and to remember your name.
My ability to remember names is very poor, you see, so it has nothing to do with you. I see people who’s names I do remember, and hide from their view. The fact that I made myself visible to you and chatted is in and of itself a testament to my liking you.
The fact that I mentioned my girlfriend wasn’t an attempt at cutting our conversation short on account of my being in a relationship, thus negating the need for us to talk. She is an important part of my life, and that’s what I was filling you in on, my life.
Thought I hurried to finish my grocery shopping, know that I hope you find the rest of your days to be happy and fulfilling.
Always yours,
Chris Loop (in case you forgot, too)
