Dear Old Friend,
I haven’t thought about you for a long time, but I recently have. You stopped being my friend without a reason why and I am still hurt by it. How can you go to being super close to someone to nothing at all?
You were there for me when my uncle passed away. It was my junior year of high school; I could never forget that. I wanted to cry all the time, but you somehow made me laugh through it all. You were always great at that, making me laugh when I felt like crying. You were there for me and I always looked forward to seeing you in all the classes we shared together. I felt like I could tell you anything. I always appreciated our friendship that we had. But then you left. And I felt so alone when my mom was sick because you were the only person I wanted to talk to about it.
You didn’t give me a reason why you didn’t want to be friends anymore, you just stopped talking to me. I was super crushed and I am still hurt by this fact today. You grew different and started hanging out with new people. You turned into someone that I couldn’t even recognize. You were no longer that funny and caring person that I grew to love in a sibling way. You weren’t nice anymore and you grew to be very rude. It still hurts me that you transformed into someone that wasn’t you.
I still miss you a lot today. I miss all our laughs and jokes that we shared. I miss being able to talk to you about anything at all, and you talking to me about your future. Most of all, I just miss being your friend. You always made my day better when I got to see you.
I just want you to know that you are very unrecognizable today. You aren’t the same person anymore, but I believe that that person is still there deep down inside. I’m not waiting around for you to change, don’t get me wrong. But I truly do believe though that you will regret turning into the person that you did. I can’t ever be friends with you again I think, but I do miss all of our memories that we had together.
For now, I wish you the best of luck in life and I hope you get everything you wanted. I hope you become the best person you can be. I used to hate you, but I have learned to forgive you. Hopefully one day you will wake up and become that best person that you can be again. I don’t know if we can ever be friends again because I truly believe I cannot let you back into my life. I guess this is goodbye, because I am finally letting go.
-Your old friend
