Dear Ex-Best Friend,
You were more than just a best friend, you were a sister to me. The person who I vented to from my frustrations of school to the frustration of boys. Every secret, every fear, and every dream, I shared with you. There was not one thing you did not know about me because I trusted you. I could have bet my life that you would never deceive me. Not only did I trust you, but you trusted me as well. We knew when the other was feeling sad or angry. It's like we knew what the other was feeling just by looking at them because that is how strong of a connection we had.
We were best friends from the 6th grade to senior year. We did absolutely everything together and vowed to never let anyone or anything get in between us. However, that changed. You decided to graduate a year early as I decided to enjoy my senior year of high school. We knew things were going to change a little,but we promised to still be there for one another. At the end of my senior year, our friendship took a turn for the worst and our friendship ended.
What hurt the most was the way our friendship ended. Instead of ending on good terms you bashed me. You shared my deepest secrets and talked so badly about me. I am not perfect, but I can proudly say I was the bigger person and never shared any of your secrets. No matter how angry or how upset you made me, at one point in life we were best friends, we were sisters. At one point in time you trusted me and I trusted you.
Regardless of how things ended, I wish you nothing but the best. I would never wish anything bad to the person who I shared six years of my life with. I hope you accomplish all the goals you shared with me. I hope you get to travel the world aside with your soulmate. I hope you find a fulfilling career and that you start the family you always dreamed of. I wish nothing but happiness and good health for you and your family.
I will never forget our early years of friendship in middle school. Our sleepovers where we would go on top of the roof and just talk about life. Or getting in trouble from going to houses to "ding dong ditch" and even throwing eggs at houses of people who we did not like. No matter how silly this all sounds, it stays engraved in my memory because that is when our friendship was so pure and innocent. We were 12 when we became best friends and we learned from one another all the way until we turned 18 and our friendship ended. Our teenage years, which are the hardest were spent together.
I haven't talked to you in two years. I don't know where you are or who you are becoming. Without a doubt, I can say you are becoming a wonderful person. Did I have a lot of anger towards you? Of course! But I have grown from that and wish nothing but success to you.
Sincerely,
Your Ex-Best Friend
