Dear old friends,
I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for creating some of my favorite memories that I hold dear to my heart. It's a shame things just didn't work out for us.
Growing up we always had that one friend that was our best friend, and you were that for me. We both knew that nothing was going to drive us apart, and one day we'd be each others maid-of-honors on our wedding day. We were going to be those best friends that everyone else compared to. Sharing our deepest darkest secrets with each other created a bond with us that could never be duplicated.
We remained friends through our adolescent years; going on trips with stories that'll be told for years and years to come.
But with life sometimes things go bad and unexpected and that's what happened between us. A friendship that seemed so close and perfect on the outside, held problems and deviousness within.
You broke my heart with the things you said, and the way you treated me as if I was something you could just use for your own personal needs, and I learned quickly that that wasn't the friendship I wanted or deserved.
It was neither your fault nor mine, but I was sad to see something so special in my life walk out the door at the snap of a finger.
But the worst part of our falling out was that I never got the closure I needed. I never got the apology I thought I deserved, and I never got to say goodbye.
Every once in awhile we pass each other and I can see in your eyes that nothing will ever be the same between us.
With all that being said I do still think about how life would be if you were still in my life, but I no longer dwell on what could have been. I've learned to move on, and not think of all the things we could have done differently.
Most importantly I'm not mad anymore, I've forgiven you for all the hurt you've caused me. I wish you the best in life and hope everything in your life happens that way you want it to.
Maybe one day down the road we'll reconnect and bandage all the open wounds between us. But till that day comes all I have to say is thank you. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for showing me what I really deserve.
Love,
Your old friend
