To the girl I could always count on,

First of all, I miss you. I miss all of our sleepovers, all of our walks around the block. I miss driving with you everywhere and having your house feel like my own.

Now, when I rarely come over, I feel like an intruder in a place where I don't belong. I miss being your go to and talking to you all the time.

I miss who we used to be, and it breaks my heart that we've grown apart, even when we said we wouldn't.

I'm sorry we've grown apart. I know it's not my fault, but I still feel the need to say sorry. I always tried-- and still continue to try-- to hang out, make plans and invite you to things.

It really hurts me when you don't show up or you blow me off. I try so hard to go back to how we were, but I have to realize that we've both changed. Even with that, though, I'll still be here if you need me.

You will always have a special place in my heart no matter how much space comes between us. We've been through the best and the worst times of each others' lives.

You're a beautiful girl and I've always admired you. I'm sorry we're not as close as we used to be, but it has taken me a while to realize that's not my fault.

You've replaced me, and I've had to accept that. I guess I've kind of replaced you, too, so if that has hurt you, I'm sorry. I guess the distance between us was too much, and we both went and found new people who got us better.

I hope you're happy, now, though. I hope they take care of you like I used to.

When you're ready to see me again and to love me like you used to, I'll be here. If you ever need me, I'll be here.

This is the goodbye we never really said. Because even though we're not leaving each other completely, I still need that closure.

Goodbye to the old girl I used to know. The girl you are now is someone I don't really recognize anymore. I love you, I miss you.

Goodbye.
