Hey. Remember me? Your old pal? Your best friend? Didn't think so. You'll probably never see this. And even if you do, you probably won't understand. We aren't close anymore. We don't really talk to each other or socialize and to tell you the truth, I don't even know what happened between us. Just one day all of a sudden, my existence became of little importance to you.

I thought maybe it was me. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I did something to cause this sudden change. But after extensive soul-searching, I realized it wasn't me at all. You were the one who changed. And if I'm being completely honest, not for the better. I'm not the only one who noticed either, but I'm the only one it's hurt so far.

I miss the old you. We used to have so much fun together. You used to make me feel safe and always knew what to say to make me laugh. I would have trusted you with my life and, in return, I would have taken a bullet for you. You meant the world to me.

But now the thought of you makes my skin crawl. You are not the person who won me over all that time ago. You are not the person who spent countless hours with me, just to hangout. You are not the person who dried my tears and wiped away the pain. I don't know who you are now. When I look at you, you're almost unrecognizable. You don't look happy anymore, you look miserable.

I know you don't want anything to do with me anymore, but trust me when I say the feeling is mutual. The new you is a snake. The new you is petty and immature and I don't have time in my life for that kind of foolishness. Maybe you got bored of me and decided to act out, who knows? All I know is I can't stand the person you have become.

All you do now is hurt me and make me feel worthless, but newsflash, I'm awesome. I don't find my value in your validation and I never did. If you don't want to be in my life, I have plenty of other great friends who I know will support me and love me no matter what. I'm done playing games. I'm too old for that trash. So I guess this is my formal goodbye to the person I used to care for so much. It's time for me to walk away.

I'm sorry it has to be this way because I really did value our friendship. Like I said, you meant the world to me. I truly miss the times we shared and the memories we made because we made a great team. I think the old you will always have a special place in my heart but unless that side of you returns, I don't want you spoiling my fun.

Sincerely,

Your Overrated Ex-Best Friend
