Please review this text I'm planning to send my best friend who left college today, is it too intense for a platonic relationship?

"i really regret not dropping you off lol and i also regret acting like an idiot in the end, i js didn't wanna cry in front of everyone and i was frustrated cause i was just feeling a lot of confusing emotions, i still am, you're prolly feeling 10x that though lol, you can talk to me about it anytime. i just really wish we had time to talk and give each other a goodbye hug before you left.

i think im kind of struggling to process that you had to go away so abruptly but I guess it happens and I'm sure we'll meet again, maybe after a couple months or years but I'm sure it'll happen.

i consider you my best friend, idk if u share that sentiment but it's okay either ways. you're one of the purest, most beautiful souls i've ever met, I've already told you all this a dozen times but it was such a blessing and privilege to have you in my life. i'll miss you so damn much, you mean more to me than you'll ever know. i wish you all the very best in life, everything is going to work out better than you ever even dared to imagine. love ya! 🫂"

some stuff that I feel is risky:

  1. we've never hugged so idk if I should mention that but I was planning on hugging him.

  2. I've said "love ya" to him in texts on special occasions like bdays around 2-3 times, he's never said it back but was just as sweet with many other words.

  3. "Idk if u share that sentiment but it's okay either way" - this line feels a little weird

  4. "you mean more to me than you'll ever know" - hmmmmm kinda sus innit
