Open Letter To The Best Friend Who Broke My Heart

You weren't suppose to be the one to leave.

Open Letter To The Best Friend Who Broke My Heart

At one point, your life seems as if everything is perfect but in the blink of an eye it turns upside down and you are left wondering how perfect can change to tragic in an instant. We did everything together, our lives revolved around one another's every movement. Our life decisions were based on what the other would think or if the other would be around to help celebrate the outcome. Everyone that knew us only knew us by one name and that was best friends. Our relationship was idolized by others hoping that one day they could replicate the bond that we worked hard to have. Even though it took years for our bond to be created it only took seconds for it to break apart.

I would have done anything for you, I would have moved mountains to make sure you were okay or defend you to anyone who tarnished your name. I thought about what the future would be like when we had children and them growing up to be just as close as we were. You were my maid of honor at my wedding, the godmother to my children, and my partner-in-crime in the nursing home when we got old. I prepared every boyfriend and future boyfriend about the dynamic of our relationship because they needed to know that they came second when it came to you. I bragged about how wonderful of a friend you were to people that tried to say their best friend was better than mine. People didn't understand us but it didn't matter if they didn't understand our relationship.

Eight years later our relationship started to crumble and I felt that I was the only one trying to keep it afloat. We depended on each other for so much and you were starting to need me less and less. I saw you placing our relationship on the back burner while everything and everyone else in your life was more important. Even though our paths in life were heading in different directions I always thought that no matter where those paths took us we were always going to be best friends. In the end, I did everything that I could possibly think of to make you see that I didn't want to lose you in my life. The harder I worked the more distant you became.

You changed my life. Before we were best friends I was nothing more than an insecure girl trying to find my place in the world. You reassured me that I was amazing and that anyone would be lucky to have me in their life. Those words bring me chills to this day because you broke my heart. You were never supposed to be the one to leave; you were supposed to always be there giving me advice and helping me along. But in the words of Peyton Sawyer "people always leave" and even the people you feel are suppose to stay forever are the ones that exit unexpectedly.

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.
