In the beginning, it was a great friendship! I thought it was going to last for years and even forever. I could see you being a part of my future like being a part of my wedding, around my children, etc.
There were different signs in the beginning, but I never wanted to pay attention to them. I kept making excuses for situations I knew was wrong.
I had never had a friend like you before, so I wanted to maintain it.
Little did I know, it wasn't a friendship that I needed to stay in. It constantly felt like a full-time job trying to be your friend, and it often seemed like you never appreciated it.
There were many reasons that made me come to the conclusion that this was not a friendship that needed to last for too long.
1. I was always the one that initiated for us to hang out
2. Once you got another boyfriend, you acted like you no longer needed a friend anymore
3. You constantly put me on the back burner until you needed something or someone to talk to
4. Our friendship constantly made me feel like I was on an emotional roller coaster
5. I wouldn't miss talking to you whenever we would stop talking because you were rude to me
If I can stop talking to you easily and not miss you, then that means our friendship wasn't that significant as I thought it was.
I don't hate you, and I don't resent you. In fact, I thank you and appreciate what you did. Although it didn't end well, I still got to experience having a close friend for a period of time. Because of you, I also know what I want in a friend and what I won't tolerate in a friendship!
I wish nothing but the best for you, and I hope you find a friend just like you!
