We have been friends for as long as I can remember. I always considered you my best friend. You were practically my sister. You know everything about me and I know the same about you. We grew up together. We made it through those awkward teen years of acne and braces, through driving lessons and first dates, all the way to graduating high school and starting the new chapters of our lives in college.

Throughout that whole time I never thought that the day would come that we would not even speak to each other. And yet, here we are. It is far worse than any break up I have ever gone through. But I guess all good things must come to an end.

I just want you to know some things before we part ways.

I will always care about you. I know it sounds crazy to care about someone who is no longer a part of your life, but you will always hold a special place in my heart.

I cherish our memories. Late night Taco Bell runs, shopping sprees, vacations, and even laying on the couch in silence. We have had so many laughs and as I look back at pictures with my future kids, I will be so excited to tell them of our adventures.

I still consider your family as my own. They were always my home away from home. Your house was always my safe haven and I knew I would be welcomed with open arms no matter what had happened.

I cannot wait to see where life takes you. We have planned our lives out together and I am so proud of your accomplishments. Even though I did not support every decision you have made, I know you did them to help better yourself. It makes my heart happy to know you are where you want to be in life.

Thank you for keeping my secrets. I always knew that I could come to you with anything without judgements. You helped me in the hardest of times, even if that meant you had to be brutally honest. Your advice is something I will always hold with me. I will always know to keep my head, heels, and standards high.

I do not hold any grudges or have anger towards you. I have accepted the fact that our views are just too different to make things work. Without your guidance in my life, I would not be the same person I am today. I respect your decisions and know that everything in our lives happens for a reason.

I also wanted to thank you for showing me friendship. Although ours did not work out the way we planned, you were always there for me when I needed you the most. Now, I see who I can trust and want in my life and I could not be able to do that without you.

I know we won't ever be as close as we used to be, but I just wanted you to know that I will always be here. Although it hurts my heart to watch you walk away I know it is the best for the both of us. So here's to our friendship. Thank you for the memories.
