Dear lost friends,
I want to start this by first saying that in no way am I still bitter about losing you as one of my friends. It happens everyday; somewhere in the world two people or a group of people decide that it would be better if that bond between them was broken and that is what happened to us and it's okay. So, as I write this letter, there are just a few things that I want to tell you because even though we aren't friends anymore, you should still hear them.
First, I hope you know that I still think about you often. I'm not the type of person to just drop someone completely (even if that's what they choose to do to me), so I am not going to start doing that now. I often find myself wondering what you have been up to, what you are doing in your life now, and most importantly, how you are doing. I always wonder how you are doing because within the time we were friends, you divulged a vast amount of precious information with me and I always wonder if you are okay.
Secondly, I need you to know that you can still come to me if you ever need anything. I suppose this goes hand-in-hand with what's written above, but I think it deserves it's own section because I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Even though we may not be friends anymore, you will always be a special person to me. You will never be just some face that I used to know when I walk by because we have shared too much with each other. You put your trust in me during hard times and I did the same, and just because that friendship is no longer there, the trust always will be. You can always trust in me that I will be there to help you through difficult times, happy times, and anytime in between.
Also, I miss you. Rather cliché, I know...but I really do. I miss everything about what we had when we were friends. Our jokes, laughs, tears, movie nights, everything that we had together are things that I will miss (and remember) forever. You are a special person, who, when combined with me at the time, made an extremely unique combination. And even if you choose not to remember all of the wonderful time, I will. And whenever I see you, I will remember the great things we did together, the stupid, and the bad. Because that is what makes a friendship and no matter what anyone says, we had a hell of a friendship at one time and I will always miss it.
And lastly, I want to say thank you, and I know that sounds generic but it's true. I have a lot to thank you for and it's possible that I never said it enough while we were friends. You see, I have a hard time with really expressing through words how thankful I am to have a person in my life or for what they have done for me and sure, that very well could be one of the reasons we are no longer friends, but it's just who I am. So, if I never told you enough then, I am telling you now. Thank you for being the greatest of friends to me in the time that we were. Your comforting words and hugs never went unnoticed. All of the amazing things that you did for me or helped me accomplish, thank you for that. And most importantly, thank you for making me the person that I am today. I take friendship very seriously, and each one of you made a huge impact on my life and on me individually. I would not be who I am today having not known you and for that, I am forever grateful.
Sincerely yours,
An old friend
