You see, my nephew– and ex-best friend– and i haven’t spoken in a year.

The reason is irrelevant, the problem is that I miss him. The worst part is that i feel like i don’t even know who he is anymore. He doesn’t look the same. He’s older, thinner, taller (i never thought he’d be taller than me), and paler than ever. It’s just… weird.

I’m on the fence about whether or not I want to send him a message to see if he wants to make up. The thing is, I’m afraid he’ll just ignore it. We were both wrong in what we did, and I know that. I wonder if we’ll ever be friends again.

According to my sister (his mom) he was, apparently, reminiscing about my being his only friend in 7th grade a week or so ago. She had suggested to him that he send me a birthday card as a peace-offering. He supposedly thought it was a good idea, but then she went to Utah. I am cardless.

I don’t expect him to apologise or even admit fault. I don’t want or need compensation. I just want my friend back.
