First, boys are stupid. My best friend dated one of her friends and she was left heartbroken simply because he wasn't ready for a relationship. I dated a guy for three and half years only for him to throw it all away. We all go through heartbreaks, but going through it with my best friend is a whole different experience.
So here's a letter to my best friend that had her heart broken by a boy who didn't deserve it.
First of all, I love you very much. You are my best friend even though I've only gotten to know you for a couple of years. You and I have gone through so much together: moving in and getting homesick our first week of school, being scared on our first day of college, almost failing a class to barely passing, our first college party when it got busted, watching sad movies and crying before a school night, eating Ihop past midnight and walking out regretting it, taking random drives around Edmond, and crying in random restaurants because we simply start talking about life past college. You are my other half and I don't know how I lived my entire life without knowing you. You are my bestfriend and you are my person. Only to think that I asked my mom before we moved in, "What if I actually don't like this girl?"
As shitty as it is to say it, I'm glad we are going through a heartbreak together. There's no other person better to understand a heartbreak than another person going through the same thing. We are only going through this because God knew we were strong enough to handle it. You are strong and so am I, and we're going to get through this together. Like we've said, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens broke up and they're both living their lives. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt broke up after almost a decade and they're moving on. And our favorite, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber broke up after 4-5 years. Justin went through rough patches and they're both fine now. We will be okay, maybe it's gonna take a month, two, or even six, but we are going to make it.
Those boys that couldn't handle us are only boys. One day we will each meet a man that deserve us. When we do, they will love us unconditionally. They will open the door for us everywhere we go, pull out our chair, brush the hair out of our face, and look into our eyes the way they do in movies. They'll bring us flowers when we're having a bad day or facetime us at night before we fall asleep. They won't be afraid to tell us when they miss us because they won't be afraid to love. They'll make us smile bigger and brighter than we have ever before. It's like watching one of those movies with a happy ending where they both fall in love with each other, except this time, it'll be us and it'll be reality. They'll love us so much the way we have loved on others. The problem is You and I both have big hearts, we love unconditionally and endlessly. Boys may see that as a problem, but one day someone, somewhere will appreciate our big hearts. Boys can't handle that, and that's why we will fall in love with a man some day when we least expect it.
Love comes at random times. You never expected to fall for someone at the beginning of our sophomore year and neither did I three and a half years ago. Who knew that conversation on the 18th hole at Meadowbrook would turn into something I held onto for three and half years. I know that you and I just deserved somebody better so God decided to change our routes to bigger and better things ahead. As much as we miss what was in the past, like C.S. Lewis said we have to remember that there are far better things ahead than what we leave behind. I know how much your heart is aching because mine is too. I am reminded every day of the little pieces he left behind, but you have made it easier every day, letting me cry in your car or in our living room. I know your heart aches so much too, but you hide it when I tell you about mine, so here's the letter letting you know. I love you. Remember that we were meant for something so much bigger than this. You and I both.
I love you; thanks for being my other half, roomie, bestie, teammate.
