A/N: So I was listening to Rescue Me by OneRepublic earlier and thought of writing some sort of one shot based off of it where it was kinda angsty. I didn't have a concrete idea, just a vague concept. So I started writing and I started thinking about...a certain friendship that kinda ⤵️ and then it kinda became word vomit, and I just wrote down whatever came to mind, whether it was based on some truths or whatever just felt like it flowed. So we got this. It's a bit different and super short but 🤷🏼♀️ hopefully you like it?
Would you rescue me? Would you get my back?
Would you take my call when I start to crack?
Would you rescue me?
Would you rescue me...
Would you?
...would you...
Because I would rescue you.
You know I would.
Do you have my back the way I have yours?
Because I feel like I know the answer.
And it's not a positive one.
I guess our years of friendship never meant as much to you as it did to me.
Looking back, you were never a great friend.
But I looked past that. I ignored it.
I thought we had a special bond.
Clearly, I was the only one who thought so.
When did this distance come between us?
Was it always there?
Did I not notice it?
Or did I just do what I could to ignore it? Told myself everything was fine. Lied to myself.
I defended you.
But you never defended me.
Maybe I should've realized that sooner.
But you always told me I was loyal to a fault. And look where that led me.
Was there ever a point in time where you would have rescued me?
Maybe I don't want to know the answer.
But I think I do know the answer. And I probably always have.
You were important to me. But you never held me in the same regard.
I let it happen.
But you're the one to blame.
Turns out, I don't need rescuing...at least not from you.
Not anymore.
