Don't you hate those stories where you meet someone and they begin to mean the world to you, but then they just vanish and become a total stranger again?

Yeah, me too.

It happens to the best of us, we have someone in our lives that consumes so much of your time, they ultimately become your best friend. You start to adapt to their habits and their way of life because you're so attached to them.

Then one day it all crumbles down and disappears before your eyes and faster than you saw coming, it slips right through your fingers and that person completely takes themselves out of your life.

I was crushed, heartbroken, and terribly confused as to how it happened to me.

He came into my life with one simple text, and from then on, we promised we would never let anyone come in between us and our strong bond.

Growing apart always seems inevitable at most points in life, and it was for us.

We went through so much together, and even after everything, we still had a bond that I wouldn't trade for the world.

At some point in our friendship, it seemed to fall apart and we became strangers.

I can't tell you how it happened, it just did.

Don't get me wrong, I miss our friendship immensely, but we just had different plans and things didn't go the way we planned.

Being best friends with him was one of the greatest things I've had in life, but with it being gone, I had to learn to become my own person and live without him day by day.

There was not a day that went by where we didn't talk to each other at least once a day and now we don't talk at all.

Where did the times go, I'll never understand, even if I try to understand. There isn't a day that goes by I don't miss our friendship and miss the bond that we had.

All of our memories will just have to stay in the past, although I will never forget them or the best friend I had in him. I also hope he never forgets me too.

I know we would have went to the ends of the Earth for each other, now we are on opposite ends.

Having a best friend become a stranger is one of the hardest things.

Days get easier, but most times I feel that piece missing from me.

I often wish things didn't end the way that they did, I wish he was still in my life and not so much of a stranger to me.

Maybe one day we won't be strangers anymore, but until then, we will just be strangers with memories.
