Happy ex-friend anniversary? That's terrible, and it shouldn't be a thing, but it is with us.  I'm sorry for being a shitty best friend. I'm sorry for not thinking about you and leading with my heart instead of my brain.  I tried to fix evything, but at some point it was too late. I miss you. I miss our conversations. I swear if you put us together we could talk for hours. I miss your laugh and your little slogans like "that's terrible," "he's got a sweet soul" "little punk." I miss watching the sunrise with you on my roof, and freezing our butts off on the dock behind your house when we'd go out to stargaze. We've gone one full turn around the sun without being friends. Time has passed, wounds have healed over, new friendships have been formed and things have changed. There's only one thing I hope for you now, and it's that you've found a way to forgive your resentment towards me. And that's not for me, I know we can't be friends again, but I want that for you. I know exactly what it's like to hate someone. Even the thought of them can put you in a bad mood, and seeing them can ruin your week. It's a terrible way to feel.  Hating someone gives them so much power over you, a power they don't deserve.  Not forgiving someone hurts you the most, so I hope that you've forgiven me. I know for a fact that there's no room in your heart for hate.   One of my favorite quotes from Tumblr is "Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace."  I hope you have found peace.
