Dear Friend Who Is Coming Back Into My Life,

Let me start off by saying welcome back! You have no idea how excited and scared and dumbfounded I am. When we “ended things,” I thought that I’d never be able to talk, laugh, hug and be crazy with you ever again. You were there for me during some hard times as well as many happy ones. You knew every guy I liked, every person that I didn’t like and every dirty little secret about me but then you were gone for a while and I missed you. I made new friends and so did you and I watched as you called other people your “best friend” or “ride or die.” For a while, it hurt but I realized that I was doing the same. But now you’re back. We’re back.

I’ll admit, when you first reached out to me, I had every intention of being careful and just act cordial and polite but then you told me of how much you missed being friends and hanging out with me and something clicked in my head and I realized that I was tired of not having you in my life too. I don’t even remember why or how we became so distant but for once, my stubborn self let go of those grudges and allowed you to enter into my life again.

I look forward to singing off-key with you, dancing like idiots, stuffing our faces with ice cream, watching movies, having girls night and sharing closets with you again. It’s like we picked up where we left off, as if we never had a fight or ignored each other’s existence. I think it’s because we’ve grown in the time we weren’t friends. I realized I had my flaws that I needed to address and so did you. I know that I learned how to be a better person, sister and friend and I can tell that you’ve done some soul searching yourself. You seem happier, more at ease and more comfortable with yourself. We were able to reconnect and talk about what happened without having any issues or finger pointing. We’re different in all the good ways and that’s what allowed us to find our friendship again.

You wasted no time in showing support for me and my past, present and future endeavors and I can only hope that I’m showing that same support to you. You’re back on my best friends list for snapchat and my schedule for coffee dates. We’re starting to use the captions “best friend” and “ride or die” again and it feels great! I’m so thankful you decided to reach out to me and give me another chance and I’m glad that I wasn’t stubborn and let you back in. We forgave and forgot whatever bad blood we had between us and I’m so ready to make more memories with you by my side. Welcome back, babe! It’s been too long.

Love,
