So... we've been friends for roughly five years now. That's probably the longest relationship I've had with anyone that's not my mother, nor my cat. I came to your school in the middle of a semester after moving from another school. I lost a few friends from the previous school. We simply lost contact and drifted apart, despite the fact that I haven't actually moved, my address and phone number remains the same.
I'm used to this, it's happened a lot of times before, and I guess that's life. I've never been on someone's "important" list, I've never been invited to any sort of outing or party. I've never received any letters from "physical" friends, people I've been in touch with. No one's ever come to my parties or actively pursued a relationship with me.
We live in an age where keeping contact is really easy. All you need is a mail address, or a name, or a number. Yet no one's made an effort to keep in contact with me.
You did though.
Two years ago we graduated from school. We moved on in different directions, and we kept contact. That was the first time something like that's ever happened to me. I made an active effort to keep this friendship stable, and it felt like we were good friends.
The first year you and I talked all the time. It was almost as if we didn't go to different schools. We spent lunch breaks together, talked during other breaks, evenings and such. I really liked that. Studying remotely made me very lonely, and you were the only friend I had. I really appreciated that.
This past year however, you've lost interest. You've rarely contacted me, you never reply to my messages or mails. You seem to put down close to no effort to keep this relationship going. Sometimes I come over to your place, and we spend time doing stuff, mostly it's me watching you playing xbox or listening to you talking, and to be honest, that's not very fun. I've been trying to keep this relationship going. I've been feeding it thoroughly, contacted you regularly. Tried to amuse you, I've invited you to play games with me, like we used to. I've invited you to various outings, like cafés and movies and such. You always turn me down, or ignore me. Even something as simple as a phone call.
A friendship goes both ways, and I don't care how few friends I have, if only one party is actively making an effort at keeping this friendship alive, then it's not going to last. So this is it. I'm through with you. Heck, you probably won't even notice that I'm gone, which sucks, because you were my best (and only) friend.
Some day you might reminisce, notice that I suddenly vanished and wonder what happened. Heck, maybe you'll even try to contact me. I wont be there. I've been here all this time, and you've been elsewhere.
This friendship has slowly been dying, despite my best efforts. So now I'm pulling the plug.
I'm really sorry that it has to end like this, but it's not me, it's you.
