Dear former best friend,
It’s still crazy to me that we go this long without talking now. There is so much that has happened since the last time I REALLY talked to you, and I want you to know every detail. There’s so much I want to know about your life in college. I want to know about your new friends and relationships.
I hate when people ask me how you are doing or how your life is because honestly, I know just as much as they do from social media. I also hate when people ask why we don’t speak anymore, because the excuse isn’t ever good enough for them. I hate how when we do text, it just isn’t the same and I don’t know how to change that.
I hate us for the way we fell off, but I thought I was doing the right thing. I was really hurt and I thought you had done me wrong, but now that I think about it, I did you wrong too. I left your life without warning at a time when you probably needed me most and I didn’t give you a reason that was good enough for you to understand, or that was a good enough reason in general. When you asked why I left, I thought the answer was simple, “you didn’t make time for me anymore”, and I am sorry for that. I’m sorry that I was a shitty friend and I’m sorry for the hurt I may have caused.
Although we aren’t close friends anymore, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being my person in high school. Thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin. Thank you for carting me around from every basketball game and restaurant we went to (How much money did we waste on those!?) Thank you for being there for my first love and my first heartbreak. Thank you for answering when I called you early in the morning and I knew you were sleeping. Thank you for always being honest with me, even when you knew I didn’t want to hear it.
Please know that I will ALWAYS be there for you, and I wish you nothing but the best in life. I really hope that one day, you will be my person again, whether that be tomorrow or in 10 years.
Love,
Your former best friend
