Dear Ex-Best Friend,

I wish we were still close. You were the person I told everything to, from boy gossip to family problems and everything in between. We were inseparable, but eventually we grew apart. Even though we don’t talk anymore there’s a few things I want you to know.

I still care about you more than you’ll ever know. You could call me up 10 years from now saying you just need someone to talk to, and I will still be there for you. Your secrets are still my secrets. We had a trust that was unbreakable, and to this day, I still hold your secrets in my heart.

Your family is still my family, and my family is still yours. They will ask me about you every now and then, and sometimes it hurts to know that you don’t come around anymore. It's hard to explain to them how we just grew apart with time. We got older, became busy, and went our separate ways. Neither one of us knew what was happening at the time, but now it’s clear. I wonder if it bothers you as much as it bothers me.

I still remember all your favorite things. When I’m driving in the car and your favorite song comes on, it brings me back to the days we would walk around the neighborhood talking and singing and laughing the day away. Summer was our favorite time to meet at our spot and talk about everything under the sun for hours on end.

Lastly, I’m sorry I let us drift so apart and I will never forget about you. Even though I don’t check up on you all the time, you are still always on my mind and you always will be.

Love always,

Your ex-best friend
