Dear Best friend,
What
has this relationship come to? We started in the beginning with an amazing
thing between us. Everything was new and fresh. We both had never been in a
relationship like this before. We were closer than we were with anyone else and
there was no way we were going to fall apart. I mean we were labeled as the
best friends according to everyone. People would assume wherever I was going
you were going and wherever you were going I was going. We would walk down the
hallways and be able to spot each other from all the way down the hall way. I could
find you in a crowd in a matter of minutes. I remember walking to fourth block
with you every day. Before I even said a word to you, I would know how your day
was going and likewise with you. I could give you a look and that would mean
more than all the words I could say. We were never going to change, right?
Well of
course, those few things soon changed. We weren’t the same and we both
knew it. Everything wasn’t picture perfect any more, but that was expected I mean
we couldn’t stay that way forever right? We no longer had to be by each other’s
side at every moment, of every second, of every day. I remember the day I was walking home and I saw
you walking with someone else and I wasn’t invited. What a surprise that was. Were
you ever planning on telling me that I wasn’t number one anymore?
We
started to drift further and further apart. We saw each other occasionally but
we, correction you, were too busy to put any more time into me. Your new friends
that apparently gave you a better social status were much more important than
me. That day between third and fourth
block when you completely ignored me in the hall way made me realize that I’m no
longer important to you, so why should you be important to me? If you want a
good friendship back contact me your former best friend.
Love,
Emily
They grew apart because her friend found new friends. They knew that their friendship was not going to last.
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from. I've had best friends before where everyone knows you're best friends and you two are always together. But unfortunately, we grow up, find different interests, and find other people with those interests. Since my school is so small though, I've had about the same best friends my entire schooling career. I've grown further apart from some, but closer with others. It will all turn out for the better in the end hopefully!
ReplyDeleteI think some people just have a point in high school where they grow up (in this case you). If someone doesn't want to be your friend anymore just because they found others who have a better social status leading to their high social status, then so be it. Apparently they haven't grown up. I feel that I've gotten farther apart from some of my friends this year also. There are plenty of times my friends have made plans right in front of me without inviting me. I get that they may want just time to themselves, but it gets kind of suspicious when it's all the time. Things aren't the same as they used to be, and the truth is, they probably aren't ever going to be the same. But you just have to move on and find people who are going to accept you for you. I know it sounds really cliche, but it's true. :)
ReplyDeleteThis has also happened to me. My best friend and I were really close in junior high, but once we started high school we drifted apart. She made new friends and so did I, so I know where you are coming from when you say that things were different. It reminds me of the saying that some good things fall apart so better things can fall together. This is what happened with my friend, because I made even better friends without her. I am still friends with her, just not as close as we used to be.
