Old best friend,
To wish I had never met you would mean to take away all of the moments we enjoyed together, times when we laughed so hard we cried, and how much we grew up together. I hate what tore us apart, but I would never look back and regret being your friend. I think that God gave us each other because we needed someone in our lives to teach us something, and for that I’m grateful. Sometimes I get sad when I see pictures of us from years ago or when I hear a song that reminds me of you, and other times I smile remembering all of the memories we have together.
Sometimes I think of texting you to tell you about things or see if you want to catch up, but I remember that part of our lives has passed. I love being able to see all that you have accomplished in your life. I’m still cheering you on, and I’m incredibly proud of you. I still love your family as if they’re my own, and I love still getting to see what they’re doing as well.
“I’m sorry” was never said. However, I am sorry. I’m sorry if I hurt you, and that things ended up the way they did. We have both grown in separate directions, however, and that’s what we needed. I forgive you, also, for the times that you hurt me. Sometimes people drift apart, even if for no reason at all. It’s just something that happens in life. I don't regret that you were a part of my life, because you played a huge role in it.
Thank you for being a part of my life. You taught me multiple life lessons, and you always had my back. You knew what I needed on a bad day, and I always felt better after. Thank you for being so selfless in our friendship. You were there for the bad days, and enjoyed the good days. You were always 2 steps ahead of me. I haven’t yet found anyone who knows me as well as you did. I will always be grateful to have had the chance to know you.
Sincerely,
Your old best friend.
