Dear Ex-Best Friend,

It's been a couple of years and yes, I do still think about you. I think about you a lot, actually. When you're friends with someone for so long it's hard to just forget they ever existed, no matter how hard you try.

I wonder how you're doing. I wonder how your family is doing. They were once my second family. I wonder how you cope with everything that happens in your life without me there because I was once your main coping mechanism. I wonder if you're happy, genuinely happy. I hope you are.

Though we've fallen out of touch, and things have been rough in the past with how our friendship dwindled and eventually vanished, I hold no grudges. After all of the tears and anger throughout our break-up, one thing still remained: you did mean a lot to me, once.

I thank you for teaching me what a real friend is and making me realize that you could never be that for me. So, I thank you for giving me a reason to stop being your friend. I thank you for giving me the chance to find my true friends that I will have for the rest of my life.

Just because you stopped being a real friend to me does not mean that I will ever stop being a real friend to you if you ever need one.

I genuinely hope that you find your happiness. I also hope that you could be the friend that I always needed you to be for someone else.

I do think about you and still care about you. I hope you get everything you've always wanted.

XoXo,

Your Ex-Best Friend
