you and i stopped talking in september
but our fights began further back
when i started to pull away unintentionally
you started resenting me for things i couldn’t control.
i thought best friends were forever
but they’ve turned into just
”forever until you change your mind”
and you did.
i’ve had friends come and go
lost touch with people i thought would be around for life
stood by on the sidelines
supported from a distance.
sometimes you’re only meant to be
best friends for a chapter of life
a season or two
to grow from the things that hurt you.
best friends are meant to be the comfort
in the chaos and confusion life brings
best friends are supposed to be your chosen family
when your flesh and blood refuse to understand your point of view.
these days i catch myself thinking about you
i’m not upset about the way things ended
or the things you said about me out of anger
im just disappointed
that you turned out to be the loss i needed
in order to find my freedom.

Snow Need to Rush
I watched my breath form a small white cloud as it puffed out of my lips and dissipated before my eyes. I rubbed my hands together, blowing into them with the precious bit of warm air that remained in my lungs. My leg bounced as I stared into the cold dark world beyond the windows of my truck as they remained partially fogged up.

This has happened to me before. I'm so sorry it happens to you too. 🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I’ve had friends like that. I thought we were better friends then we were!
