We always told each other we'd be friends forever, no one expects it to happen to them, but I feel like at some point in life everyone ends up going separate ways from some of their friends. Some friendships end over a fight, some because you move away or go to college, and some you don't even realize they're ending it just happens.

We were inseparable, everyone knew we would show up to parties together and when people saw us without each other they'd ask where the other one was. We went on vacation together, told each other everything, beat each other up like we were siblings, laughed until our stomachs hurt, cried together, even shared a closet. You knew how to cheer me up and you were always there for me but all of a sudden something changed.

People still ask me where you are, how you've been, and if I've seen you recently. It hurts me every time I have to look down and just say "no, I haven't talked to her in a while". People are always shocked to hear we aren't friends anymore, which isn't surprising because i'm still pretty surprised we still aren't friends and I'm still pretty sad about it. I know people change, but I don't even know you anymore. Its so sad to go from how close we were to where we are as quickly as we did, we needed to go our separate ways though. We grew so much so fast, and we grew apart.

Our friendship ending definitely still effects me to this day, because I thought you'd be my maid of honor, I thought you were my person, and I thought you'd be there forever. It breaks my heart a little when I go through high school pictures because they're all with you and you're not around anymore. I still check your social media every once in a while to make sure you're doing good and that you're happy. I'm silently cheering you on from afar, hoping you achieve everything you've been dreaming of for years.

You've helped make me who I am today and theres a few things I need to say thank you for...Thank you for making me emotionally and physically tougher, thank you for always doing my top eyeliner because I didn't know how to (I still don't), thank you for teaching me not to take life so seriously all the time, thank you for showing me how having a real friend feels, thank you for being part of my family and letting me be part of yours, thank you for always putting a smile on my face, and finally thank you for being my best friend I don't know what I would have done without you back then.

I hope you're enjoying life and going on adventures all the time like we used to together. I hope you're succeeding in whatever you chose to do and I can't wait to see how much you succeed in the future. I wish you nothing but the best and I'm sorry things had to end the way that they did. I love you always
