Going...Going...Gone...

I lost. He won.

The truth hurts.

We said friends till the end.

We said nothing will tear us apart. We went through everything together, the good times, the bad times, I don't even know where to start. We lived together for three years, dealing with every guy that went in and out of each other's lives. You helped me through two bad breakups, I helped you with the assholes, our friendship always thrived.

Then you met him. And broke up and got back together. As your friend, I just wanted the best for you, for you to be happy. Little did I know that to you, happy meant putting the friendship to the side, and then to the back of your mind, and now I doubt if I ever cross it.

Every "let's do something" has turned into "I'm with him," every ladies night or movie night has turned into you being gone. Every weekend it is like I do not exist and you are never home. I can't remember the last time we did something fun... Can you?

I cannot say leaving is even a hard decision. You pushed me out, there's no reason for me to stay in. No matter what I'd suggest I knew the answer before I hit send. Lately, I would hit it just to see if I was wrong... Turns out I wasn't.

It's sad to say that you can lose a friend this way. Someone you always talk to is now a stranger. My mom says to keep reaching out, that you'll come around. Three months later I still haven't heard a sound.

Seeing you change like this, it is like I never knew you. Who knew you would be this obsessed with someone, not that it's a bad thing. If he is the one then great, but remember that you need others in your life too.

I don't want you to see this before it is too late. But everyone needs a friend to give themselves a break. The only thing I see happening is you realizing this when it's too late. When we have all gone and moved on because we were tired. Tired of the no replies, the broken commitments. One day you will need us and we'll reply "Sorry but who is this?"

I'd say that leaving will be the end of us talking, but really it ended the moment you decided that he was the center of your entire world. When spending every spare moment with him was more important than trying to make a friendship work. When any time we would try to make plans would end in the same response. Bet you haven't even noticed that I decided to give up.

One day you will realize all of this has gone too far, that your friends all left and you will be asking why. Then you will know how it feels to always be ignored, to be told that in not so many words that you are not important to us anymore. And it will hurt and you will feel it sting maybe then you will realize that having friends is also an important thing.

I may be coming on too strong, but what I say is from the heart. Remember that it wasn’t me who tore our friendship apart. I put in the time whereas you just did not. All the fun times we had, I will hold onto them, where I’m sure to you there is little thought about them.

They say best friends are made to last, but you cannot really last when one of us has put this friendship in the past...
