Dear Ex-Best Friend,

Hey! It's been awhile and I would like to say that I miss you, but part of me knows that you probably don't care. Another part of me still hopes that you do though. I also want to say that I'm sorry. I wish things didn't end they way that they did between us. But now, I would like to say I'm sorry for a number of things. I'm sorry you have to answer questions about how I'm doing to your family and our old friends. I'm sorry that I call someone new my best friend. I'm so very sorry that I made you responsible for a lot of my secrets and I'm sorry that I didn't care more. I'm sorry that we aren't making all the memories we thought we would. Us not being friends is weird.

With all of my apologies, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for letting me get to know your family, and for being basically my second family. For letting me call you my best friend. For keeping my secrets no matter what. For being open with me and honest with me always. For encouraging me to be more open and honest about myself and to believe in myself. For all the memories we share and all the the embarrassing photos that we now see on our Facebook Memories. Thank you for being the perfect friend for that time in my life.

After middle school we told each other that us going to different high school's wouldn't break our friendship. We worked so hard to keep our friendship together but with different schedules and different crowds, we naturally grew apart. And that's perfectly okay! We never thought that something as simple as going to different schools would move us apart the way that it did. We grew up quickly, and then lost each other in the mix.

I hope that whatever boyfriend you have treats you right and doesn't break your heart. I hope you graduate and find your dream job. I hope you don't get stuck living somewhere you absolutely hate. I also hope your family is doing well. That's the wonderful thing about ex-best friends, I still hope you're doing great because you deserve it. You deserve the world.

Just because we aren't best friends doesn't mean I hate you. Yes you read that correctly, I said Just because we aren't best friends doesn't mean I hate you. It means the opposite because we were best friends, I love you a lot and always will. I know this because in 5 years when we run into each other at the mall or the supermarket, we will be happy to see each other.

So just know, I'm not mad that we grew apart. I wish you all the best and all the happiness the world can give you. I'll always love to see your updates and I'll always be on your team.

I love you always,

Your Ex-Best Friend.
