Dear Once-Best Friend, I'm Giving You Up

I miss you so much, but I've realized we're just not to be. No matter how much it hurts, I have to let you go, and move on.

Dear ex-best friend,

I miss you so much, but I've realized we're just not to be. No matter how much it hurts, I have to let you go and move on, and I found a song by Miley Cyrus to help me do just that. It's called "Giving You Up", and I thought I'd take a moment and share it with you:


I chose this song, because I feel like it fits our situation perfectly; therefore, I listen to it on a very regular basis. It's helped me move on and be happy with my life. Now that you're no longer apart of my life, I'm happier than I've ever been. It hurts to say that, but it's true.

I think about you often, and wonder what it'd be like if we were still friends. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but I have to do what's best for me. You'll still hold a very special place in my heart; forever and always. Thank you for coming into my life and making me a much stronger person.

Love, Your ex-best friend

What could you hope to achieve when I'm crying and you know why?
How do you find your reasons in my deepest, darkest night?
I keep giving you up

I remember when you were my only friend
Now I'm not sure you can feel like that again
I keep giving you up

And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

All the things that you said
Well, you seem to forget
Dance around in my head every night
And there's a battle within that I'll never win
'Cause it's me that I'm up against
It’s my heart versus common sense
Can I give you up?

And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

Strip the layers
Make me better
Help me get out clean
Show your colors
I'm slipping under
Help me through this, please

And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

Yeah, yeah
My mind's made up
Yeah, yeah
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
Hey, yeah
I'm giving you up

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.
