Best Friends Forever...Not?

She and I were friends from the very first day of pre-school. We were in the same class and we became inseparable. Partners for everything, in school and in life. She was my best friend and I was hers.

A few years after we met, we had a falling out. She moved on to new friends and I missed her, but eventually moved on to new friends of my own. Moving into high school, we ended up in classes together. It was awkward starting over, but we did..and we grew closer than ever. I had missed her and couldn't imagine why we ever stopped talking in the first place. All through high school, we spent all of our time together. She helped me through so many hardships, times that I never would have made it through without her by my side.

She was so much more than a friend. She was my sister. We did everything together. We went to school together, we graduated together, we had a mixed graduation party, we celebrated holidays together, went out together, learned new things together, laughed, cried, sang, danced, everything together..

Things begin to change a few months ago. I saw less and less of her, but we still talked every day. And then we stopped. She wouldn't respond to my messages and she never stopped by. I tried to talk to her, to find out what was happening, but I guess sometimes friends just don't last.

I feel as though she died. And in a way, she did. She's no longer the friend that I knew. I still love her and will always be here if she needs me. I really just wish she would do the same...

sometimes things happen which people just need time alone to sort out, give her time, it could be that something has happened which she needs time to sort out, something which for whatever reason she feels she can not share with you this may not mean she doesn't care about you. the best thing you can do is to be there when/if she needs you in the future.
it is really hard when the people you trust turn away, look at it as a chance to try new things, meet new people, make new friends, and build new experiences. it will give you new things to talk to her about when/if she returns.

I know.

It can hurt a whole lot, esp. when they cannot even explain their absence.

I have learned that people are complicated and often unpredictible.

Letting go is an art.

You have done your part and if she needs to chill and have some space, it probably isn't about you. But our feelings can be hurt when this happens.

I am glad you shared with us.

You are loved here.
