To the Girl Who Used to Be My Best Friend, I’m Sorry I Let You Down

If there were four words that explained us, they would be “attached at the hip.” 

 

You were the girl I could honestly call my ride or die, my sister, my true partner in crime. You were and always will be my best friend. And now, it hurts so bad to not have you in my life, to not be able to talk to you about anything and everything like we used to. I know people change, and I have accepted that fact, the only thing that I could not wrap my head around is one simple question. Why? Why did we grow apart? What caused two people who were practically inseparable to fall out? Two people, who were together so much people would get us mixed up to not talk anymore? 

Maybe this isn’t your reason, it is very possible that I am just trying to rationalize the fact that we grew apart by blaming myself and the toxic relationship that I was in. Maybe for you, our friendship ending has some other reason, but for me, this is why and I want to say I’m truly sorry.

 

 

We were inseparable, we had our whole lives planned out–– you and me together, forever. We planned on moving out together, getting our first apartment together, starting our lives supporting each other every step of the way. We had absolutely no intentions of separating, at least at first we didn’t.

We had made a promise to each other that as best friends we would never leave each other, we would never forget each other, and we would always be there for one another.
