To The Best Friend Who Moved On Without Me

We were so close.
But then you moved on without me. You didn't mean to, you really didn't. That's just life. Not everyone stays best friends with their high school friends, but some do. You moved on, you got better friends, and had the time of your life. I know you still care about me, but life is so totally hectic. I get that.

But what I don't get is how you can completely forget who a person is when you don't hang out on a daily basis.
We hung out for the first time in forever, and we didn't even know what to talk about anymore.

They warn you that you lose your friends, but they forget to warn you how it feels to lose your best friends.
They don't tell you that you just stop talking. That you slowly fade from each other's lives. That when you finally decide to meet up, you no longer have anything in common. You get replaced by their new friends. Their new friends are now replaced with your "this made me think of you" little moments.

They never told you that friendship heartbreaks hurt 100x more than relationship heartbreaks. They never told you how crappy life is when you don't have your best friend there to defeat the world with you. They never told you that people just drift apart. Not on purpose, not out of spite. Just because of life's different paths. And that's what's hard. Losing someone to life and watching them live without you, when you promised each other so many times to always be there.
