The thought of saying goodbye to the person who I was never caught without is a saddening thought. The person that was much more than just a friendship. The person that family became my family and vice versa. The person who knew what was on my mind before I could even speak. The person that was the ultimate lifelong best friend; until life showed us different plans.
The person who was always there, seemed to never be found. The person who promised they were always a phone call away, became the person you never heard from. Your number one Snapchat best friend, even lost the smirking face and now is blank beside the name. The absence of the emoji, shows the time that has been. The person who was a guaranteed like in everything you posted seem to be ghosted from your page. There is not even a trace of the friendship on your page, unless you look at memories. The time that everyone was annoyed because you were constantly tagging one another, or posting non stop shares with that person seemed to be centuries ago.
Every memory you had seemed to involve them, and now no one even mentions their name around you. You were once the go-to person, always the person they made time to see, and now you are the person who they have not seen in six months. They could not tell you anything regarding your life unless they read it on social media, when they were once the person who were the first to know.
The thought of the separation being true seems devastating. You were suppose to be my life-long friend, that we were never going to forget about one another. The different colleges, careers, and future plans were not going to break this "true" friendship apart. We had survived many heartbreaks, losses, ups and downs with one another. Why would the journey of life outside of high school be any more challenging? Life through a curve ball. No one is to blame. I do not blame you, nor am I upset.
I am not saying good bye because you are a toxic person. I am wishing you the absolute best in this parting. Your secrets and memories are safe with me, even if they may seem silly now. The stories of you sliding and busting your butt is forever stored. The countless cranky moments, as well as the moments when we could not breathe from the laughter, those are also safe. I pray that you achieve everything you have ever dreamed of doing. I hope one day, we can reunite and bond instantaneously with no remembrance of the time lost. However, the roads have diverged. I will always be here, for I will always be your person.
