To the "Best Friend" who said they would always be in my life,

It's been a while since we had hung out and had a fun time with one another. We've been through so much together, it's insane. I can't deny it, I miss it all. I miss hanging out, going to movies, the beach, the mall, and all the road trips to nowhere in between. I miss you, best friend. But I know the feelings aren't mutual. I really don't know where we went wrong. You have convinced me that it is all my fault, and I'm at the point where I have just accepted that.

But what I can't accept is the promise that you have broke. A promise that you knew meant a lot to me since day one. A simple promise. A promise to always be in my life. A promise to never leave especially when times get rough. A promise to be by each other's side no matter what. You broke that promise. You broke my trust. You broke me.

All of these years of friendship, and promises, promises we made to one another, I guess it was all for nothing. It can't always be one person fighting and trying in the friendship. It's a two person job. I can't keep fighting for someone who doesn't even care to fight back.

Lately, I have seen amazing friendships end. Never in a million years did I think our friendship would end, especially the way it did. It just amazes me how I went from having a best friend one day, to not having one the next day. I didn't even see it coming. After 10 years of friendship, its all over. It all happened so fast. It's all over so fast.

Because of you, now I feel I have to watch who I call my "friends" and my future "best friend". Now I have to learn how to trust all over again. Now I have to learn how to open up to new people. Now I have to move on and find a real friend. A friend who won't hurt me. A friend who won't turn their back on me. A friend who won't break their promises. Because of you, now I am hurting.

But, I'd like to thank you. Thank you for the amazing years friendship we had. Thank you for all of the fun memories we shared together. Thank you for making me realize not everyone is your friend. Thank you for teaching me what the word "friendship" truly means. Thank you for breaking your promise. Thank you for leaving. Now I can learn to live without you. Thank you for leaving when times were rough, because now I know I can only depend upon myself. Finally, thank you for breaking me down. Because you broke me down, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life.

Though the friendship is over, and I know we will never be back to where we were, I will always love you and will always be here for you. Good luck with your future.

Sincerely,

A friend who never stopped trying or caring.
