To My Ex Best Friend

 

So you’re probably wondering

Why I’m writing you.

And the truth is

I’m wondering that too.

 

I know it was me who hurt you,

But before that I was hurt too.

And this letter may be selfish and just to clear my own head,

But you deserve to know why it had to end.

 

To start things off, I don’t hate you.

Even when things were bad, this was never true.

I will always appreciate everything you did for me,

And cherish all of our memories.

 

We grew up too fast and too close,

And you weren’t there when I needed you most.

And I know, I know, it’s my fault too,

But I wasn’t me and you were not you.

 

We were lumped together, never apart,

And on top of that we were both in the dark.

I was angry and annoyed, so I pulled away fast

Without any warning, because I knew it wouldn’t last.

 

I wanted to call you, I really did,

To apologize and to forgive.

But as much as it hurt, I knew that deep down,

I did what I had to do to not let myself drown.

 

I hope that you’re well and I wish you the best.

Thank you for 10 years of friendship.
