We would always be close, right? Well, that's what we had planned at least. Then life just sort of happened. We went from hanging out every time we could, to texting when big things happened, to only talking every now and then, and eventually losing touch. Neither of us is to blame here; things were beyond our control. We both became so busy and overwhelmed with life, and that's okay. There are a few things I want you to know, though.
I miss you. It may not seem like it because I am surrounded by so many new people and hanging out with them, but there are days when I get sad thinking about the memories we shared and how things used to be. Even though I am happy with where I am, I get sad thinking about how you aren't with me to experience these things. Some days I wish I could just call you and tell you about something that happened, but I know you wouldn't understand because we have totally different lives now. So much has happened since we lost touch, and I wish I could tell you all about it. Even though you're not the one I call with my news anymore, you still mean the world to me. Just because we've lost touch doesn't mean I have forgotten about you, because that could not happen in a million years. From all the late nights spent laughing and crying, to all the years filled with happiness from you, you will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how distant we are. You left a huge mark on my life and I am thankful for every memory spent with you.
I hope you're doing well. From your Instagram and Snapchat, it looks like you're having the time of your life, and I hope that's true. We may be different people now, but I know you're still that awesome person I loved so much. It doesn't surprise me you have made so many new friends, and I'm not mad either. It makes my heart beyond happy to see you smiling and with people who make you happy, even though that's not me anymore. I know you will leave a mark on them like you did on me.
I wish you the best. We may not talk anymore, but by no means does that mean I hate you. I could never hate someone I spent so many hours crying to, ranting to, and calling for anything and everything. You were once my person, and even though you're not anymore, I wish you nothing but the best at whatever life brings you. Hopefully, you have found someone else to be that person, and I hope they realize how incredibly lucky they are to have you, and don't take it for granted. I hope you find your bridesmaids and best friends for life, even though it may not be me. Know whenever life gets rough, I will always be here for you to fall back on no matter how different our lives may be. I will always consider you a friend, even if we lost touch.
Lastly, I'm sorry for how things are. Our lives just decided to go down two different roads, but that's okay. I wish things could be different, but I am happy where I am today and I hope you are too. I am so lucky your path crossed mine for even just a short time. Maybe if I'm lucky in the future, our paths will meet again one day. But until then, I love you always.
