A Thank You to My Best Friend Who Will Forever Be By My Side

Friendship

When we’re young, friendship is all about convenience.

 

We hang out with the people in our classes, on our teams, on our blocks.

 

We are constantly with them. We laugh, cry, and grow with them.

 

But, then, in almost the blink of an eye, you’re graduating and going your separate ways to different colleges and different towns.

 

You start to have your first experiences apart from one another. Your life timelines aren’t so perfectly matched anymore.

 

And, this is when the true test starts. And, it also comes with a harsh reality.

Bestie, I Hope One Day You Can See Yourself The Way I See You

Dear bestie, BFF, my person, twisted sister, etc..

 

You’re anything but ordinary.

 

You have this incredible strength that I’ve never known anyone, except you, to have. When you’re faced with the toughest obstacles, they don’t shake you. They strengthen you.

 

You have this personality that is different from everyone. You’re crazy in a way that makes me laugh and even though I question what you do daily, I wouldn’t trade our friendship for anything in the world.

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.

This Is How I Plan to Make it Up to You, Bestie

I know there have been several occasions that I have fallen short as a friend. And, I know that I have fallen short a lot for you recently.

 

We were always there for each other, but somewhere along the way, I got so lost in my own stuff that I stopped being there for you. And, for that, I am so sorry.

 

But, somehow, you still never gave up on me. Even when we would make plans and I would flake out, you would forgive me and move on.

 

Even when I literally had nothing to offer in terms of friendship, you still stayed.

 

I don’t know what made you decide that I was worth it, but I am so glad you did. 

 

And, I promise that I will learn from my mistakes because you deserve the kind of friendship you have always given me.

 

I promise that I will step out of the haze of my own thoughts to reach out for you. Because, you’ve been going through so much too, and I didn’t even know about it. And, that is my own fault.

 

44 Things Only Your Best Friend Can Tell You
