Hi it’s your best friend here. I know you have a busy life and you’re making new friends at college and coming home and working all the time over your summer break, so I understand that you’re going to be busy all the time now. And that new guy or girl you’re talking to will take more of your time than I will soon and eventually, I'm afraid, I'll be left behind. But I just wanted say “Hi” and remind you that I’m still here if you ever need a best friend that knows you better than you know yourself.

But I also wanted to remind you of the great memories we shared in hopes you remember how important we are to each other and you will bring me back in your life. I think about them every day when I see snapchats, posts, or any social media you post with your new friends or new significant other. I get a pang of sadness remembering when that was us in those pictures and posts. I want those back; I want you back.

All our fun trips in the car, the loud awful singing we did when our song comes on, they all flood back to me every time I drive down the road. Going to the grocery store or Walmart and not having my best friend to run around the store with or laugh about inside jokes with in the store and have people look at us like we have something wrong with us, it’s all just a memory now. I’m nothing but a memory to you. We promised it would never happen and yet here we are living separate lives. I feel like I lost a part of me and I can’t get it back.

I hope you read this and feel the sadness I do every day.

Love,

Your best friend
