I've kind of made this post before but this one has a different message to it.
Me and my best friend dated, which is never the best idea. Just as I feared we broke up and we ruined our friendship. We never talk anymore except greeting each other with generic holiday pleasantries. I miss her and I just want our friendship back. I want to tell her how I feel but I'm afraid if I do she won't reciprocate my feelings. She never texts me back anymore but when she does it's very cold and short. This past Christmas I wanted to tell her how I feel but I chickened out. Should I still say it?
This is what I have typed up but too afraid to press send.
"You and I were best friends and in hindsight we should've stayed that way. You always came too me when you needed me and I to you. We talked about everything, our problems, our lives, we would stay up half the night talking and it was worth screwing my sleep schedule because that was the best part of my day. I'm sorry for how I was when your grandma died, you needed space and all i did was smother you. I'll regret that for the rest of my life because I lost you. I'm not upset because I lost my girlfriend, I'm upset because I lost my best friend in the world. I lost you out of my life. Before we dated you made me promise you wouldn't lose me as a friend and I promised that you never will, well that’s as true today as when I said it back then. I miss you. I miss my stubborn as hell, "complicated", girl. I know we'll never be able to go back to what we were and that kills me because a friend like you is hard to come by. And I don't want you to start talking to me again because you feel bad. I only want you to talk to me if you want to or if you need to. Anyway, I just thought I should get that off my chest"
Any comments or advice?
Thanks
