To The 7 Years I Wouldn't Trade For Anything

I know you always see these "open letters to friendships that end that were supposed to last forever and be happy and how you loved them, but you would never let them in your life again," but that's not what this is about. This is what I would say to you if you were to talk to me again; I want you to know you'll always be in my heart and you're still the closest friendship I've ever had. So, here's an open letter to the one best relationships with a friend I couldn't change if I tried, A thank-you and a goodbye.

I remember when we first met in that gym room. You acted like you hated me, I was such a little goon. Weeks went by and you slowly but surely warmed up to my bubbly outgoing personality, and eventually we were inseparable. There wasn't a moment we weren't together; and I couldn't ask for a more amazing friend. We had been through so much together, from our break-ups, to your dog biting me. From going to amusement parks and the beach, to crying on the phone with me when my brother passed away, and when the dog that bit me died (still hate him but I love him for you), from both of our biggest breakups (at the same time, that was rough) to hating each others lovers. You were there for every step of my life for seven years. Break-ups suck, no matter what the relationship is; but yours... Surprisingly didn't. There comes a time in almost every relationship where you move on and drift apart, and with that.

Don't get me wrong; if you called me crying right now I would drop everything and be by your side in an instant, but I'm not going to sit around with my fingers crossed waiting for that to happen. I love you with all my heart and I always will no matter what, but towards the end of our relationship, it seemed very one-sided. You brought in drama that I didn't want in my life, and our break-up is for the best, but it doesn't mean that I don't miss you and won't stop missing you for a while because, well, you were a huge part of my life.

So, here's to the worst relationship I've ever had, and the best. You made my life interesting and I wouldn't change that for the world I know you will probably not read this, and that's okay. I hope you have a nice life, and wish the best in your future, whatever it may be. I hope you wish the same for me as well and don't think back negatively on it, because out of all the fights and anger and bitchiness towards each other, I will always remember how happy you made me.

Love,

Your seven-year-old relationship.
