You'll always have that one friend you always keep close to your heart. As we grow up we learn we aren't all the same. We begin to go our separate ways and start our own journey. Some will leave behind their childhood friends and gain others. This is a letter to my old best friend who drifted away.

To my Former Friend,

You were always my best friend throughout middle school and the beginning of high school. Things began to change as we entered the new chapter of high school. We started gaining new friends and hanging out in different groups. We both knew we were drifting away from each other but didn't want to accept the fact we weren't the same friends anymore. You were my best friend but then you were going down a different path.

You began down a path I decided not to go down. We became distant but always knew where ever the road would lead us we could always count on each other to be there for one another.

I've watched from a distance as you started going around the wrong crowd of people. A few weeks later, you were a totally different person. All I could think was "I want my old best friend back." The one who always matched outfits with me. Listened while I cried over stupid boys. Most of all I miss our late night talks and girls night in. Then I wonder what made you go down a different path than me?

I want you to know I'm always going to be your best friend. The one who I call my sister.

I've accepted the fact people change but it won't stop me from questioning why we drifted away.

Sincerely,

A Forever Friend
