losing a best friend

You could write him a letter and send it to him then let him come to you. Give him space but in the letter you can let him know how you're feeling. I would write the letter, give yourself a cooling period and then Reread it to make sure it's what you want to say and that it's not confusing. You could also sit down with him and talk it out.

sometimes one apart helps. My friend and I are like sisters but after high school we spent a year or two not as involved in each other's lives. Not to say we cut communication but we have each other space and it helped us so much. Now we are closer than ever. She is my person and vice versa. We learned that we can spend weeks busy but we think about one another all the time, and when we hang out we fall into step as if we only saw each other yesterday. We can call or text or visit whenever because we have leaned how to give each other space and time. We learned that relationship are fragile so we make sure to be honest and caring to one another, but we would have never truly realized that unless we spent that year or two slightly pulled away.

I hope you are able to maintain your friendship. If it means something to the two of you then it will work out.

You might want to try to talk to him about how you feel and what he means to you. I lost my best friend we don't talk at all now, don't let it get to that.

Thanks for the advice! I hope to be able to work things out with my best friend.
