Hi,
I know we haven't talked in a while and I'm sorry about that.
Life got busy and complicated and for whatever reason, we grew apart from each other. I've been keeping up with your life through Facebook posts and Instagram pictures, and I wonder if you've been doing the same for me. You look good, great even. Most of all you look happy–I am so glad about that. I would like to apologize for whatever drove us apart. I understand that things change and people grow, I just never expected us to have a downfall like this. We shared many great memories that I will never be able to replace. I am so thankful for every one of those moments and I am very thankful for you.
Although we have lost touch months ago, I hope you know I still care about you a lot. I sometimes have to refrain from picking up my phone to text you something that makes me think of you. I'm worried that if I try to strike up conversation again that it will bring up bad blood–even if whatever we once were upset about is now clearly in the past. I hope you've made peace with the past. You deserve clarity on it all. Sometimes it feels as if our friendship was a figment of my imagination. I scroll past your life on Facebook and I always stop when I see your name. I like seeing you happy and smiling, and I hope your life is everything that you'd hoped it would be at this point; even if I'm not in the picture.
As they say, We had a good run, you and I. I think that describes us perfectly. We grew with each other, we learned with each other, and we ultimately made some sort of impact on each other's lives. I thank you for that, and for always being there for me when I needed it. You were a great friend. I still love and care about you very much. I know nothing I can say will ever bring us back to where we once were, but hopefully one of us will be able to conjure enough courage to reach out to one another. But until then, I'll be here, clicking through your pictures on social media. I can't explain to you how happy it makes me to see you happy. You deserve all the happiness in the world my friend, and I'm sorry if I ever took any of that away from you.
I love and miss you dearly. I wish you the best,
-Katie
