Friends come and go in life, and that's okay. You meet acquaintances and you meet friends and when you're lucky you meet best friends. The people you tell all your secrets to, the one you call when that boy you've been crushing on finally kisses you, the person you share your fries with.  You might know the feeling of losing your best friend. I'm not talking about the slow fade of a high school friend when you go to college. I'm talking about the loss of your best friend, the big fight or the mistake that broke that friendship apart.

To my (ex) best friend, 

We had some really great times together, memories that I still hold on to. You were one of the first true friends I met my freshman year. I thought I had found my person when I met you, I thought you were going to be the Meredith Grey to my Christina Yang. I never would have expected that we would now barely talk. We both said some bad things, some mean things, some hurtful things. You did something I couldn't forgive. It's been a little while now, and I feel different things now when I think about you than I did when I was still angry. I don't wish anything bad towards you, I wish you good luck on all your future endeavors. I want you to know that I am sorry I hurt you. We both hurt each other and for that I am sorry. Our friendship taught me a few things; one, how amazing just driving around and talking about life can be. Two, to cherish the memories, and three, to always look on the bright side of things. We talk some now and I'm thankful but we'll never have the friendship that we used to have. Everyone comes into our life for a reason and I believe we both learned a lot from our time together. I harbor no hard feelings and I can't wait to see where we both end up in life. I wish you the best.
