You were my best friend for so long and I never thought there would come a day that you wouldn't be my friend. Then one day, everything changed. I don't know when that day was and how or why it happened, but it did.
We were so involved in each other's lives. You were a part of my family and I was a part of yours. You were the friend that would call me and tell me you were having lunch with my mom and ask me if I was coming with. I would come home and you would be at my house without me knowing and I would find you napping in my bed. We were best friends and attached at the hip the majority of the time. We had a friendship of unspeakable moments, because no one else understood us the way we understood each other.
We were both there for so many important parts of each other's lives. On the day of our high school graduation, one of the biggest days of our lives at the time, I never saw a future without you as my best friend. Just as we were there for each other during our graduations, I expected us to be standing next to each other on our wedding days as well. Then we went away to college and everything changed. We didn't see each other as much anymore, and as much as we tried to keep in touch, we slowly faded from each other. We both made new friends and we were having different experiences in college. At first we would text and call all the time to catch each other up on our lives, but those texts and calls started to become less frequent. Then one day they stopped coming at all.
You were my friend that saw me in all of my awkward stages of life. You were there for me every time a dumb boy broke my heart. You were there when I decided to do drastic things to my hair and either told me I was ridiculous for even thinking about it or you were right there with me as I did it. You were there through some of the best and worst moments of my life and you still loved me in all my weird ways anyways. There were so many stages of life we saw each other through, and I expected us to see each other through so many more. I always expected the person that saw me through all of these moments would be a part of my life for the rest of my life, but life doesn't always go as planned.
I hate that I don't know how you are and what you are doing with your life. People will ask me how you are and I have to tell them I honestly don't know. I'm sure you have accomplished so many things in life by now, and even though I don't know exactly what you are up to, I'm proud of you for following your dreams.
We may not be friends or talk anymore, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be there for you if you ever needed anything. I hope if one day you feel the need to reach out to me, you do. You will always hold a special place in my life, and if you ever need me I'll be there in a heartbeat, and I hope you would do the same for me. No matter where life takes us, I'm thankful for the friendship and memories we shared, and I will always be rooting for you and your accomplishments from afar.
