Hey ex-best friend, can you read this for me…

Remember the very first time we met. We both ended up in the same class in 6^th grade, sitting on the same table looking at each other laughing. From there on, we both knew that we would become very good friends and inseparable. You were one of the first people who ever stood out in the class with your cheesy smile and laughing so much even when things weren’t so funny. But, I guess that’s what I got from you, being weird and laughing so much, I guess that is why we started to connect more. I kind of still miss those times...

You were always the one to pick me up at my lowest moments and made me feel 10x better. I felt like I actually had a sister who can listen to me and understand me about anything. Although, we pretty much were like sisters, and your parents were like my parents, they treated me as if I was their daughter. Can’t you believe that its all over now? We made it through 7 years of a friendship and now it is all thrown away, after everything we both did, we were sisters who stuck together.

I can clearly remember all those times we hung out together like every single day and went to so many places, including that day I almost drowned at the beach. Oh yeah, and I still won’t forget that day where I was forced by you to go on King-Da-Ka at Six Flags, showed how much I love you. But wait, even better, remember when you jumped off the roof into the snow, your so crazy for that. Why does it feel like it was just yesterday where it all happened, doesn’t it? I told you everything, and you told me everything, I gave you the permission to even stay at my house whenever you needed to, 2, 3, 4 days, or even a week. I was always there for you, just like how a friend should be. Why did it all change, you never really explained it to me, I want to know.

I’m just confused, one day everything just changed. Was it because you now have a boyfriend? I am glad you found someone and you are happy, but I feel like ever since he came along, everything changed. Our friendship is no longer existing, now we are like complete strangers. We go to the same college but not once have we met up with each other to catch up with each other on how things are going. I want to tell you every good thing that has been happening to me and the opportunities but you aren’t here for me to tell you all that. You know, that one time you texted me during class, I was happy thinking we can finally fix our issue, but you just wanted to borrow my printer, that was all…

I’ll always be here, but I am not waiting anymore for you to come around. I’ve changed and learned to do things on my own now and this is all part of life. It is okay because I have been doing great and I am genuinely happy, I am just glad I met someone like you who always told me to believe in myself and motivated me every day of my life. You were always the one who never gave up on me and supported me in what I loved. All I can do at this point is to say thank you.
