Letter to a dear friend

I know that our relationship started out pretty intense.

It was like, we were almost inseparable from the beginning.  As soon as I had a break at lunch, I would be with you - even if it was just for a few moments.  After work, I would be with you until my nap.  Then, I would wake up and we would be together until I had to break away to make dinner - though sometimes I was able to have you keep me company in the kitchen as I cooked.

After dinner, we were truly inseparable.  I was at your whim.  Anytime you let me know you wanted some attention I was there to give it to you.  I was always there.

Lately, I have been a lot less into you.

Trust, though, that it's not you.

It's me.

I have sometimes gone days without any contact with you.  When we do get back together, I play catchup and make up for all the lost time.  But after those precious moments, there are even more days of no contact.

I know that I don't want to completely part from you, but I do need more space.

I take pleasure in knowing that being with you has helped me meet new people and learn new words.  I have also been able to increased my confidence in being able to sometimes beat my mother in her own game.

April was hard for our relationship.  I was really busy with blogging with the A-Z Challenge, I was really busy with coaching, and really busy with teaching.  My phone is so old that I don't even have enough memory on it to be able to use it to meet up with you.  As soon as school is over and I have to return my iPad to the school, I don't know what I will do.  I may have to buy some sort of new device to help keep us together.

Until then, I will try and be with you as much as I can without becoming obsessed again, Words With Friends.
