What would you say to a former friend?

We all have ex-friends, whether people we've simply drifted apart from or those we've had a real falling out with. What would you like to tell that friend?

That I am sorry for the circumstances that drove us apart and caused us to become strangers... That I wish I could go back and tell my old self to act differently... To tell her that noone can force her to make a decision between two people and making no decision would have not cost me anything as I assumed it would have.

I was in love with you for a reason and now that we are no longer together I still have love for you as your a human being and were all walking down a path, some paths merge while others simple develope a fork in the road. I wish you well I forgive you and please be more kind to yourself and others.

To my former best friend, I would tell her that I valued our friendship more than she knew. We talked about growing old and still being the best of friends but she was all talk. So focused on herself and her work and whatever guy she was infatuated with, but I knew that she was going through a rough time in her life. She called me her best friend but whenever we went out... I was always left alone. I was so intrigued by her coolness. She helped let my creativity flow. I just didn't realize that she really didn't care about me. After we moved away from each other it became clear. She didn't want to visit me. She didn't want to put in the effort. For years, I visited her many times... She came to visit me twice. Once when she stayed at a friends house even though I invited her over. The second time she stopped by for 10mins with her current boyfriend who rushed her out the door. We don't talk anymore because she won't respond to me reaching out. The crazy thing is I miss her no matter how shitty she was.

That I wish I would have kept in touch better. That I'm sorry I isolated myself from everyone. I miss having friends.

That's a difficult and scary subject for me. I had a very good friend for about 9 years. We drifted apart. I would call and tell her happy new year, ask how she is and have a laugh together just like old times. I would also share new music I found, just as we used to do together back when we were okay with each other. But I'm afraid of her reaction so I don't do it. I just keep her memory in my head and that's it.

Perhaps one day, we'll be in each other's life again some time down the road after we resolve our differences. Perhaps not, but I wish you the best of luck in life.
