An Open Letter To Those Who Left

Subject: An Open Letter To Those Who Left
From: A Friend Who Didn't Leave
Date: 3 Oct 2016

I honestly don't know what I did. I thought we were best friends. We shared so many good memories. I wanted to make more but you obviously didn't. You turned people against me and now they won't stop teasing me and texting me rude comments. And needless to say, I still miss you. I was never good at making friends. I'm always pleased with myself whenever i manage to make a new friend. I always want to keep my best friends for a long time. I want all those "best friend goals" people post online. But you don't want that.

When you left, you never exactly told me what I did wrong. You said my boyfriend "changed" me. I know that was just an excuse. You didn't want to admit that the real reason you left was because the girl i replaced came back after her and I stopped being friends.

You promised me. You promised me you would never leave if you and her started being friends again. I remember one night when I broke down in tears because I thought you were going to leave me for her. You told me, "I promise I will not leave. You're my best friend, not her." I wish i would've known that weeks later, you were already gone.

She hurt you. You told me she broke your heart. I was there for you that night when you were crying because you missed her, she wasn't there. She wasn't even thinking about you. But I was. I was there, right by your side, helping you through your tuff times.

I guess I should've figured it out earlier. Looking back at it now, I don't know how I missed the clues. You deleted all of our pictures off of social media. You barley told me anything about what was going on with you life at the time. When you were hurt, I wanted to help you. I wanted to support you. You didn't even help me when I was sad. You just told me to get over it.

But I still can't help wanting you back as my best friend.
