Ours is the friendship that faded.
It’s been a while since we last spoke.
At the risk of this letter being perceived as awkward, there are a few things I’d like to say to you.
Do you remember that day? The one when we met?
I do. I’ll never forget it.
We made a connection. That’s the day I began to care for you.
I learned a lot from you during our time together.
All those adventures we had. The laughing. The crying. The killer inside jokes that will forever be apart of me.
All of those things have helped to shape me as the person I am now.
I know you don’t know me anymore…but you do.
I’m me. Still the same old weirdo you once caused trouble with.
Remember how people used to look at us with such annoyance plastered all over their faces whenever our crazy train hit town? (Which was basically all the time)
Those are some of my favorite memories of us because we never gave two shits about what others thought. We were just living our best lives, side by side.
You know, I still think about you a lot.
I hope you think of me too…though, I understand if you don’t.
We took different paths and our lives went separate ways.
Life can be so cruel to cut off friendships the way it has with ours.
I want you to know that, although things are different now, I have never stopped caring.
You will always have a friend in me and I wish you nothing, but the most successful, happy, and healthy life you could ever hope for.
Until we meet again…
Sincerely,
Tayler Lee
Thank you for sharing this. It really hit home for me. Beautiful post.
Hi Brooke! I’m glad you liked the post. It’s definitely a bit of a sad read. If you ever find a need for a new friend, I volunteer! 🙂
I relate with this. You should send it to your friend. Anything in this world can be fixed.

Hi Belen! This was intended to be an open letter to all friendships that I’ve had in my lifetime and others have had in theirs that have gone by the wayside. It wasn’t directed at any one friendship in particular. I appreciate your advice though! 🙂
This is sweet and heart-breaking at the same time. Beautifully written!
Hey Elizabeth! Thanks so much 🙂 Glad you liked it!
Right On!
