I think about you every day. I see something that just reminds me of our friendship and all the stupid things that we used to do together. It is that easy for all the memories, good and bad, to come rushing back into my mind, reminding me that we are not the way we used to be; that we are no longer close enough to even call each other from time to time. I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss being in your presence, with you always making me laugh like a little kid, or making sure that I was okay even when I wasn't.

It seems so strange how two people can meet and become best friends, but grow up and grow apart in the process. You know my darkest secrets, and I know yours, and yet I still trust you with everything that I have that you'll keep those secrets. I watched you grow into who you today, and it makes me happy to see who it is that you have become, even if I had to watch you do this from afar.

It hurts me to remind myself that I'm not in your life anymore, but I guess that's what makes me thankful that I even knew you in the first place. You are the type of person that everyone wants to be friends with. You are so caring and generous to everyone around you. You have the power to light up every room that you walk into, and I can only hope that I get the chance to see that one more time from you.

I never thought I would see the day that we weren't friends anymore, cheering each other on throughout this life, but it happened. I'm sorry for not reaching out as much as I should have, thinking that we would just reconnect at some point. I see you now and I don't really know how to act; I will always be excited to see you, to know that I get to hear all about how your life is, and all the exciting things happening, but I can't lie and say that I don't get nervous about seeing you. And I don't mean that in a bad way, it scares me that you are not the same person that I used to be friends with. You've grown and bettered yourself, and I will always be nervous to meet the new version of you.

You taught me a lot, and watched as we grew into new people. I will always wish you the best in life, no matter where you end up. And even if you can't hear it, I am always on your side, cheering you on from the sidelines.
