I hope you have made new friends, I'm sure you have moved on. \r\nYou were always able to meet new people easily, it's in your nature, you devil you.\r\nI must be honest, I don't miss you at all. Actually, I am happier with you not around. \r\nEven though we were so close, there was always a bit of self-righteousness that you carried with you \r\nwhich made me a bit uncomfortable, I must confess. But, I wish you the best wherever you are these days. \r\nSometimes I think I see you but it's just that personality of yours that is so recognizable in people. \r\nTake care of yourself, mate. We'll always have those late night candles and poetry we shared. \r\n\r\nCheers,\r\nJohnnyG<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Sorrow, I haven&#8217;t seen you in a while\u2014it&#8217;s been a good six years since you visited.
