Dear Ex-Best Friend,
I want to start by saying, I hope you are doing well. You were always so adamant about what you wanted to do with your life and I hope you are following your dreams. You worked really hard to get to where you wanted to be and even though I am not around anymore, I am still proud of you. I have full confidence in the fact that you are achieving everything you put your heart and mind to. I have watched and cheered you on from afar. You are going to do big things one day.
Despite how things ended, I can honestly say I do not regret a single moment while our friendship lasted. Those late night sleepovers, shared laughs, shared cries and shared secrets will be something I will forever cherish. The moments and memories we shared will always have a place in my heart. Being able to look back and laugh at what we used to do means a lot to me. We were more like sisters than best friends back then, but now everything is different. Going from inseparable to complete strangers was so hard. You were practically family to me before we parted.
It is weird not being able to just call you at the end of the day or just show up at your door knowing you would take me in and talk to me about whatever was going on at the time. I wish I could reverse time and make everything the way it used to be before we fell apart. Going on with life without you by my side was weird for awhile. I would see something that reminded me of you and my heart would break a little knowing I could not tell you about it. I would have a crappy day and just cry to myself because I did not have you to run to.
Although we were so close at one point, I am okay with our separation. I have always been a strong believer in "everything happens for a reason", so I know we had to part ways for a specific reason in life. I wish things were the way they used to be, but at the same time I accept the fact that they are not. It was decided that we were better off apart than together. I know if things are meant to be, then we will find each other again one day in the future when life decides to bring us back together.
Even though our paths no longer cross and our lives have grown in different directions, please know I am still rooting for you from afar. Know that you could call me tomorrow and I would have no ill-will towards you. Know that you will always have a place in my heart for the rest of my life. Know that I will cherish the memories we made together for the rest of my life. Know that I still love you no matter what.
