Losing friends because of fights or misunderstandings or simply from growing apart happens to all of us.

But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.

But that doesnt mean that it doesnt hurt.

It hurts badly, particularly when you thought your friendship would last a lifetime.

I lost a friend.

Instead, she gave up on our friendship altogether.

You hurt me

When you disappeared from my life, you hurt me deeply.

To this day I am not quite sure what happened.

We were having a rough time, I know that, but was I not worth giving another chance?

Did our friendship really cause you that much pain that you had to walk away without looking back?

I am sorry if it did.

I dont regret you

We shared so many moments, such good times.

I treasure those memories.

You taught me how to look at the world in a different way and how to make pancakes.

I wouldnt change a thing.

I still think about you

I still remember your birthday

I looked at the date that morning and thought, Its her birthday today.

Hope she has a great one.

And I meant it too.

I wonder how long Ill remember that for.

Other things have gotten blurrier.

Your birthday always was a big deal, after all.

I wonder how you got where you are

I heard through the grapevine that you moved away too.

We actually live in the same city again now; who would have thought?

Then again, its been a minute since weve spoken.

I do wonder though.

I cant quite predict how youd react though, and maybe thats why I havent.

Or maybe its because making small talk with someone I once told everything to would simply hurt too much.

I hope youre happy

I really do.

I know your life wasnt perfect, that you had some demons of your own.

I hope you love your life in this new city.

I hope that ending up here was your choice, not just a byproduct of circumstances.

9 I still get sad sometimes

Its rare these days, but sometimes it happens.

I smile because we had good times.

Im sad, because we lost something important when we lost each other.

I hope you sometimes miss me too

And that you dont regret me either.

Just like it does for me.
