Losing one of my best friends

One of the hardest experiences I’ve dealt with

I lost one of my best friends a few years back.

I had a feeling it might happen.

I sent her texts, and she would take over a month to get back to me.

And then at some point, she simply stopped replying.

It hurts so much, even today.

I know I’m supposed to let go of people, but I can’t help but hold on to the memories.

We were so close, and now we’d be strangers again if we ever crossed paths.

She’s on the other coast now, so maybe she just wanted a clean break.

People talk about getting over break-ups, but people don’t talk about friend break-ups.

It hurts even more sometimes. Someone you thought was gonna be a friend for life doesn’t even care to respond after a while.

I guess we grow apart and lives no longer intersect.

No one told me it was going to be this painful.
