To the friend that walked away,
Long time no talk. I could sit here and say that everything was okay, but if I did that I would be lying. I have so many problems with how our so-called friendship became less of a friendship and more of a joke.
My biggest issue is how suddenly we went from practically family to total strangers. Could you explain that to me? I really don’t understand it. If I ever needed to talk to anyone about anything, you were the person that I wanted to go to before anyone. You were always one of the first people, if not the first, to know what was happening in my life, good or bad. If I see you around town now (which is very often considering our town only has three red lights), it feels like a crime to even make eye contact with you, much less start a conversation.
For some reason, I had trusted you with absolutely everything very quickly. This was a big deal to me because I tend to not trust very easily. I just had this gut feeling that you were genuine, and I listened to it. You were my most loyal friend, yet for some unknown reason your loyalty was short-lived. Our friendship started to change so suddenly.
I slowly started seeing you care less and less about me, and there was nothing that I could do about it. We went from being inseparable and knowing one another like the back of our hands to being complete and utter strangers. To me, that is so sad considering how close we were. The worst part is that it seems like you don’t even care that things changed. You were my best friend when I wasn’t sure I had anyone. You should have been there like you promised, but you walked away instead. It honestly hurts that you dropped me like I meant nothing to you.
Even though I do have hard feelings, I am happy for you. It is good to see you happy with your life and the people in it. I just wish you would have shared it with me instead of pushing me away. I wish you would have gone about things differently. You should have talked to me if you had a problem instead of cutting off communication. Just know that I will always be cheering you on even though your actions, or lack thereof, hurt me.
I will still do anything for you. I made a promise to always be there for you, and I meant it. If you called me at three in the morning stranded somewhere, I would come get you and take you home. If you texted me needing to talk because you didn't know who else to turn to, I would listen. If someone was to ever speak about you in an ill manner, I would stick up for you. You know what sucks the most? The fact that you wouldn't do the same for me, and I have no idea why things turned out that way.
Sincerely,
An old friend whose friendship wasn't enough for you
