Dear Individual:

            She said she didn’t even want to move in so why are you moving all the way to California to be with her? You said you wouldn’t let your significant other get in the way of friends and that’s exactly what you did. Everything you do, you do because of her and you care about no one else but you two being together. As a friend, I couldn’t be more happier for you but I also have to be a little selfish because I’ll never see my best friend again and I won’t have anyone to get me through my last year of school. I’m going to be all alone. After telling me the news, a best friend would stay with me and comfort me through this…not leave because you have to go to the gym. You can’t even sacrifice something like gym or sleep or anything for your “best friend” which means I guess we were never that in the first place. I’ve done so much for you and all I get is bad days, long nights, and millions of tears. Why do you continue to hurt me like you do? I know you don’t purposely do it so I should rephrase that to, “Why do I allow myself to get hurt when I shouldn’t be upset over the things you do.” I’m even over you as more than a friend but anyone finding out that their “best friend” is moving would make anyone upset. Do I make the most out of the situation and spend the few remaining months we have together special and fun or do I just give up now and drift away so the final goodbye will be less hard? I don’t know what to do but I guess all I can do is continue to live life and move on. No matter what I say, things won't change. I could give you an elaborate letter or tell you everything you meant to me and how much I'll miss you but it wouldn't matter. So, to make it simple for both of us, my final words to you will be “I love you and goodbye.”
