A/N Hi. It's nice to be back to writing. High school isn't easy.

I hope I'm not the only one that writes letters to people and tears them up after.

Happy reading.

Dear best friend,

Hey. Just give me a moment.

What's happening to us?

What's going on in your head?

Hell, what's going on in my head?

I can't believe I could say this, but:

without you, life is so much easier.

I don't have to go out of my way to start a conversation-

One that both of us will leave uncomfortable and bitter.

I don't have to wonder if you're thinking of me.

I know you aren't.

It doesn't bother me anymore.

I guess we've drifted so far apart,

so quickly, that I forced myself

not to care.

Don't get me wrong.

I'd jump in front of a train for you in a heartbeat.

I'd take a knife in the heart just to know you're okay.

But I'd do the same for a stranger.

It seems that's what we are now.

Strangers.

You aren't mine anymore.

You never were.

But you can miss what you never had.

Maybe that's why I feel so empty.
