Dear Ex-Best Friend,

I wish sorry was enough, but I know it isn’t. I know nothing will ever make up for the way I treated you and left as if our friendship never meant anything. You trusted me just as much as I trusted you and I left just when I told you I’d always be by your side.

I should have stayed. We should have worked it out, but right when everything was getting harder, I left to try and make things easier for me. I was being selfish, and this is all my fault.

You taught me not only how to love myself, but how to love life with all the flaws in it. You were there through my darkest times and pulled me out of my deepest depression. You were there for me at any time of the day and I fully took advantage of that. I took advantage of the one person who actually cared about me, my future, and my well being. I could never forgive myself for leaving.

I know you loved me more than anyone ever has. You gave me the world and so much more. You did everything in your power to make me happy all the time and not until I didn’t have you did I realize that.

I want you to know that I realize that now. Not having you in my life has definitely taken a toll on my happiness. When I’m all alone at night with no one to talk to, I notice how lonely my life is without you. I realize now that people like you don’t come around often, and our friendship was one in a million.

Thank you for being part of my life for the past five years. Thank you for all the late night calls, sleepovers, cries, and laughs. I don’t know what I would've done if I didn’t have you there through all the nights I felt like giving up.

I hope one day we can start over. I hope that one day you’ll forgive me and understand that leaving you was my greatest mistake.

I'll never want to chase sunsets with anyone else.

I'm sorry,

Your ex-best friend
