Text messages I'd never have the guts to send

Hi
I haven't seen you in a while
How are you doing
I don't think we ever really talked
We talked so much
We used to talk every day
It wasn't anything important though
You still don't know why I did what I did
It's fine
I don't mind
 
You seem so happy now
You're happy right??
Yeah
Me too
Do you forgive me though
Umm I was never mad
You just left
Like it's fine
I have friends
you do too, it's all good
I guess so but I
miss you
Oh
I'm not your ex or anything lol
We were just
God I know
friends
like two years ago
I know
but i feel bad now
why did i leave??
Have you seen me lately
I'm really happy
I literally don't mind
And we're still sorta friends anyway
Uh huh
I'm glad you're all good
...mostly
Aren't you?
eh 
I mean
Is something going on??
You never talk to me in school and now ur randomly texting me
I can stop
Your friends are probably texting you too rn
Not really
Yours?
 
Not really
Oh
Yeah
Look im sorry I've been ignoring you
It was you who did that
at first, but I never wanted to
do you not want to now??
gosh i never wanted to
tbh i'm just lying in bed right now regretting everything
Well why did you
do what you did?
I thought I needed something new
That I'd be better off somewhere else
Well are you?
No
Oh
And are you okay?
Without me as your best friend?
I try to be
But are you?
No
