Dear Diary,

Isn't it funny?
Hilarious actually.
The way we can just pretend
Like nothing ever happened.

We never shared nights together
Never shared oversized sweatpants and hoodies,
never shared our darkest secrets with each other
Oh wait, we did.

And how did that end up you ask?
Well, that's the whole pretending part
We were best friends, practically sisters
Now strangers, maybe acquaintances at best

If i think about it too long I'll get sad.
And i don't want to be sad anymore.
I just want to be content with myself, my face, body.
I guess the great poets were right

Anything worth it is never easy
And anything easy is never worth it
So I guess that's what i'll take away from this
And i hope you will too.
