An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend

Thanks for the memories.

An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend

I hate it when I know things are going to fall apart between me and someone else; especially in the case of my best friend. It was so painful to go through it, knowing at the back of my mind that someday, somehow, we'd stop talking and hanging out with each other. I still wonder if things would change between us, that one day we could fix our friendship together.

I'm not too sure what happened between us. I'm not sure how it is that you are treating me like strangers after all that we had, was it really that easy for you to let go of everything?

I look through our conversations that we used to have every night without fail, and it still leaves my heart aching to know that you used to make me so happy with the simplest words and I don't even hear from you now.

Perhaps we got too comfortable with each other, maybe you got bored or maybe I just didn't try hard enough. We always read that 'best friends are people you know you don't need to talk to every single day, but when you do it's like you never stopped talking', but I guess we weren't supposed to go months without talking and expect everything to stay the same. But one thing for sure, we've lost it all. For you, at least.

I hope someday we'll talk again and things will go back to the way it was, but if we don't, I hope you remember that you were my best 'best friend' and it hurts to hear you call someone else your best friend. I wish someone would treasure you for all that you are and you are not; because I truly did.

We've both stopped talking to each other for a while now. I guess it doesn't hurt as much as before, at least for me. I definitely still think of you and our memories together, but I have learned to move on. People come and go, and just because you've known someone for years doesn't mean you still will for another ten years. Every time I sink myself on the bed and have the urge to compulsively FaceTime you, my heart breaks when I realize we don't have anything in common to talk about. My heart shatters when I hang out with old friend and they ask about our friendship because of how inseparable we were before. I know we aren't anymore, but I guess I'm starting to get used to it.

On a side note, how have you been, my dear? Perhaps more than just fine without me? It stings to know the fact that you are, but I truly am happy for you - I just wish I could be your person and the two of us could be our own versions of Meredith and Christina.

You will always have a special place in my heart even though we no longer talk. I will look back at our times together and smile to myself, knowing how you helped me grow as a person and someday I hope I will be able to smile and ask if you've been fine.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
