missing melissa is something that brings me to reality of her not being here. you'll never know how much you'll actually miss someone until they’re gone. melissa left me with a bundle of memories...but if i could trade it all...i would just want her back. i find myself at times trying to call her and tell her what's going on in my life and just to see how she’s doing. it may sound weird, but i do. losing a close friend is harder than anything! our friendship started when we both were in the 6th grade. we didn't have to befriend each other, tell our deepest secrets, hanging out, have point arguments or anything like that. we choose to! we choose to place ourselves around each other for a reason. and for that reason, that's the part that hurts the most!! we're best friends for life and that'll never change...i love melissa for who she was and she'll always have that special place in my heart:) still dwelling over the past, linyae n. harris
