Dear Former Best Friend,
I want to take a second to make it clear that I am not writing this out of spite or anger. Yes, at first, after everything that happened between us I was so angry and so bitter, but now I just want you to know that I want nothing but the best for you.
You were my everything for the longest time. I miss the days when we would dye each others hair after school, or when we would go to the basketball games to watch the guy I liked at the time. We did absolutely everything together.
High school was so great for us, and we would talk about how we were practically twins or how we would always be friends. I wish that would have been true. Losing you was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. When I left for college, I knew it was going to be hard to be away from you. I mean, we were inseparable our senior year! We worked together, hung out all the time, gossiped together constantly and everyone knew how we were the greatest friends. Even though I knew that being a few hours apart from you was going to be difficult, I never thought it would end our friendship.
I honestly never even thought about there ever being a day where you weren't my friend. As classes started up, I tried my hardest to keep in contact and text as much as we had when we were back home, but it proved to be very difficult. College was a whirlwind of new people and new experiences that I just did not have the time that I wanted to talk to you. I understand that I dropped the ball on our friendship at that time, and I regret that everyday.
I knew that our friendship was hurting by the end of first semester so during the break I wanted to try and work on things and get to where we once were. It worked for a little while! I was so excited about us hanging out again. It felt like old times, and I didn't want it to end again. Unfortunately, as I left for yet another semester, things went right back to where they were the last time I left.
Try as we did, we just could not find a way to make it work. Summer came, and this time, I thought since we had more time to hang out everything would work out! Instead, it was just more fighting and blaming everything on one another. It was just awful. The fight that ended our friendship was the hardest. I had finally gotten to the point where I knew I had to let you go. I didn't want to, but it was time. Both of us had hurt each other way too much and our friendship wasn't ours anymore.
There's not a day that goes by where I don't miss you. In fact, I have come to realize that I owe you a thank you for everything you helped me through. You were the best friend I could have ever asked for my senior year and because of that, I would give anything for us to be able to fix things and be best friends like we once were. I want you to always remember that even though we are no longer in each others lives, I am still always here for you. Twenty years from now, if our paths cross again, I will be there for you.
I hope your life is going the way that you want and you are successful in your life. You will always be my twin and I will love you always.
Love,
Your Best Friend, Always
