To My Ex-Best Friend

M,

Somewhere in those six years, something went wrong. I'm not sure what it was, or if it was my fault, or if it was really anyone's fault to begin with. I just know that at some point, it fell apart. It started with one week without talking to you. It's just one week, you said. Look what that week became. Months. Whenever I attempted to talk to you, you ignored me. You hardly even looked at me. Where are you now? I haven't seen you at school since the beginning of the school year, so I guess it's safe to assume you moved. I don't know if you realized how much this affected me. I don't know if you realize how much I've hurt because of you. I've cried because of you. Maybe you do know that I'm hurt, and maybe you're a little hurt, too. I just don't understand why you would do all of that with no explanation, or why you would tell me I was your best friend just a few weeks before you started ignoring me. We could've talked about it. Maybe you felt like our friendship just wasn't the same anymore. I felt that too, somewhere deep inside me. I still miss you, though. Sometimes I look at that bracelet you made me, or that drawing you sent, or the photos we have together, and remember the good times. I hope you and your family are doing well, wherever you are now. Thank you for everything. Thanks for all the memories we've made, all the times you've listened to me rant, all the times you've made me laugh, and all the times you've made me feel better when I was feeling down. I'm not that mad anymore. People come and go. That's just how it is. Wishing you all the best in life.
