Farewell Letter

As cheesy as it sounds, I am now writing a farewell letter.

I think that most people would like a friendship that lasts forever. I'm not sure why we're still on this topic to be honest. A part of me feels like I still have hang-ups over it. After all it is a friendship that was made during my most impressionable age. 

I would like to say that, I am somewhat reasonably over it. However, I am still bothered about it. Hopefully, by writing this farewell letter, even though I don't ever plan on sending it out, I will finally have a peace of mind.

Dear D,

I can safely say that at one point we were each other closest friends. I don't really know what happened to us, but there really isn't a way back anymore, is it? Not that I want to go back either, I suppose. But, remember when we were 13 and had nothing to worry about?

We met when I was at my lowest point. I had no friends, and really was the weird kid nobody wants to talk to. You were really nice to me, in a way that nobody has been in a while. That made me happy, I guess. Finally, somebody who didn't think I was weird. Remember how I drew an anime girl that some girl made fun of and you defended me? 

Looking back, you were really a good friend to me. Truly, I appreciate all the things you have done for me, all the big and the little things

As we are all humans, I think it is only inevitable that we each come with our own shortcomings. You had yours, and I surely have my own. It pains me to say this but what happened to us was a result of both our own shortcomings. 

I should have been a more attentive friend. As for you, well, at this point I think we have both just outgrown each other. At the lowest point in my life, I would have been content with a friend who understood me and talked to me. Right now, I'm not at that point anymore. To be honest, keeping this friendship was draining to me. But I guess it's far too late to say that now.

No hard feelings on my side. I have changed, but I'm not sure if you have. I guess I really am not that good of a friend, huh? I still wish you well, though.

If our path were to cross together in the future...even though I doubt that would happen, best wishes to you. And now here we are, at the last page of this friendship. At the very, very least, the last page for me. 

Thank you for being there for the 14 year old me. She's really glad to have you as her best friend.

Signed,

Your friend M
