-My friend Andy...We've lost touch, and I just had a dream about him last night, and I realized I really miss that guy.
I've been feeling sort of nostalgic lately...You know when you miss all of the people you've ever known...friends you never quite got to know, or friends you lost touch with, people who have inspired you...or, even old flings or loves...not in the way that you would ever want to be back with them, but just as a person...kind of a "hey, I miss you--Maybe it wasn't THE thing, but it was SOMEthing."
