I know it's not in the norm for me to send you a document late at night. I was up thinking, being myself and what I'm doing to others around me. Please don't criticize me for not answering anything you send me or being ignorant and not involved in anything right now. There really isn't much of an explanation other than me being an asshole:

I stared at the window seal watching the clouds go by

The subtle wind cooling my face as each one came by

The sun beaming down on the window and house

My face becoming washed with sunshine

The bottle right next to me made me more vulnerable to feel

More vulnerable to scroll on the phone endlessly

'Oh, he got a girlfriend. He looks the same from when I saw him.'

'That's a cool thing.'

'Hope they don't mind me moving.'

'Hope I was never a bother for them.'

I look at what we had

Everything

I look at what we can have

Everything moreover

I look at why I'm stalling so much

...

I look at what's causing me to not jumpstart

...

I look at what's causing me to not pick up and start again

...

I don't know the answer, and I leave it at that

Every choice I made felt good in the moment

But they all had consequences

I feel like throwing my phone at the newly paved road next to the paletería

Each time I'm out I remember how much I took away from my friends

I remember all the fun times we had

I remember all the times we got drunk at a park

I remember all the times we tried to sneak out and party all night

Those nights are in the past now

He is in the past now

We never decided to call him to come back for he was already long gone

Our group functioned the same

The chemistry we all had was missing

But not all of it

We adjusted to having only 4 of us instead of 5

We adjusted to not calling each other slurs if we showed affection

We adjusted to being caring

We adjusted to being more tending and apologetic

We adjusted to not having out close friend with us

It took us a long time to get back to where we were

Some of us were caught up with partners, some with family

Some had neither of these problems and suffered with nothing

Yet, we treated each other as family

I always cared for them

They always cared for me

They noticed I had become more distance

More drunk
