Dear __________,

From the time we were born, we were close. We went through a lot of great and difficult things together, but as it goes, we started growing up and getting busier. We didn't see each other as often as we used to, but that didn't matter because when we would see each other, it was just like old times and we'd "pick up" where we left off. That still held true throughout our early teen years, but that's when I felt things start to change. I knew that they were naturally going to change some as we got into our late teen years, but it was just different. I felt like we went from talking about how we were going to be in each other's weddings and how our children were going to grow up together like we did to awkward hello's and small talk, in the blink of an eye.

Then the first "BIG" thing happened. After it, we started talking more like we used to and you told me things that I hadn't known about you before. It was so nice and I felt like I was getting my best friend back. It gave me hope that we could still be those little girls who had talked about being in each other's weddings and how our kids were going to grow up together. Looking back now, I feel kind of silly for thinking that because not long after, the second "BIG" thing happened. It hurt me so bad and it still does. We've talked two or three times since then and have only seen each other once....you barely even looked at me then.

I think about you a lot and wonder about what your life is like now and how you're doing. I know things probably won't get back to the way they were before, but I hope that we are able to get close again because I miss having you in my life. I miss laughing until we were crying and our sides hurt. I miss us hanging out, having sleepovers and how you made yourself at home when we would be at my house. I miss our friendship. I'm sorry if there's anything that I've done to offend you and keep you away from this long, but, because we were so close, I'm going to tell you the truth and how I feel about things. I'm sorry that I never let you fully in either...maybe if we did, things would have been different. Please don't let the thought of how I'm going to react to something keep you away, I really do want the best for you!

I Love You and Miss You So So Much!

Sincerely,

___________
