When we were young, nothing could break us apart. We were inseparable. You were my best friend and you made my life complete. I loved you like a sister and my family loved you like you were their own. We did everything together and everyone was secretly jealous of our awesome friendship. Then high school happened. We went our separate ways but promised to always be best friends and always keep each other in the loop. Which we did for a long time.
High school changed us. We are not the same as we used to be. We made new friends, we went to new places, and we didn’t include each other as much as we should have. We were new people, yet we were still best friends.
After a few years, we hardly talked and we had new best friends. We hardly ever hung out but when we did it was like nothing had changed. Halfway through our senior year, we stopped talking. Even in college, we only occasionally talk. And that sucks.
I want to let you know that even though we are not like we used to be, you are still my sister. Life happened and we just grew apart. I want to thank you for being the person that put me in my place when I needed it, told me not to chase after the people who don’t care, and promised to help bury a body if I ever needed it. I’ll never forget the times that we laughed so hard we peed or when we scared the sh*t out of each other by hiding behind the door.
I still love you like family and I still think about you every day. I smile every time I see things that remind me of you because you will always be that person in my life. You are still the person that I want to talk to about my day every day. That will never change.
I love that I can still text you to see how you are doing and I am so proud of you for chasing your dreams. We both knew you would crush it.
I thought that we would be best friends forever, but sometimes life has other plans. And that’s okay. I still have mad love and respect for you, and I know that you have the same for me.
Although our friendship is not the same anymore, I need you to know that you have made an extraordinary impact in my life and you will forever be my person.
