I had a best friend. We were good enough friends and close enough friends that we even had to argue about when we met, 5th or 6th grade. We were tight as you could imagine through high school. Stayed real close for a couple of years after even though we went to different colleges. But slowly we started getting into different things, different wants. Eventually we grew apart. I didn't even get an invite to his wedding, surprising.

But, Freshman year of college I met another friend. I didn't know it at the time, but this guy is a real friend. We have eventually become the closest of friends. Not just share secrets, but the kind of friend that will drive 8 hours to be with each other after a break up, or a family loss. This new friend and I have been friends for about 18 years now, and even though he lives 5 hours away and we see each other just a few times a year, we talk, email, or text several times a week. When we do get together it's like there was no break in the conversation, we pick up right where we left off.

I guess my point is that maybe that girl was what you needed then. But maybe she isn't what you need going forward. My dad told me when I was young that you will only have one true friend in your life. There will people you hang out with, that you enjoy spending time with, but only one will always be there for you. I think you just haven't met that person yet. And just because you're now out of high school(I assume) doesn't mean it's too late. My mom made some of the best friends she's ever had after she was 60 years old.

Just keep your heart open, meet new people, see who is led into your life. The best is still to come.
