Dear High School Best Friend,
During high school we'd fight about the dumbest things, but we always found our way back to being attached at the hip. If anyone would've asked me if we would still be friends in college, I'd be able to give a solid yes with no hesitation.
We met when we were just tiny 5th graders, we acted so big and grown up, but you and I both know we were just showing off to each other to sound cool. We didn't know that we would go to high school together, let alone walk the graduation stage together.
We went through our awkward "scene" phase together where we would wear way to much make up. We thought sticking a giant gummy bear to my bedroom wall was the funniest thing ever.
In high school, we did everything together: homecoming, late night dance studio trips and paying for Jimmy John's in quarters. Everyone knew us as a duo, even the teachers. We'd walk into each other's houses without knocking. Even when we were mad at each other we couldn't go without talking.
We would write letters to each other while we were in class and then give them to each other about how boring class was and how cute our crush was.
The first time we had a falling out in college, I expected us to build a bridge and get over it like we always do. It didn't work out that way. With 700 miles between us and new lives (to say the least), it was a lot easier for both of us to just let it go instead of fixing it.
I still mention you and tell people about all the stuff we never tried to get away with since our moms were friends. Or how we would spend hours in a dance studio just enjoying the music.
I want you to know that I do miss that. When I say we were best friends, I mean BEST FRIENDS. You'll always be important to me, and our memories forever live on.
Maybe we just grew up and grew apart. Maybe even if we didn't have a falling out, we'd still have grown apart, or maybe not. No one will know. What I do know though, is we both have grown into adults and personally, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you during every thing you could think possible.
I'm sorry we grew apart,
Your high school best friend.
