Solitude

Eight months

I remember when she mentioned your name to me the first time, and you were nothing more than that. A name and a faceless figure. But you became turned into a friend when she introduced me to you at the front of our school on November 11 2014. The group of us spent countless hours at the recreation center, eating unhealthy foods and watching vine videos on our phones.

Winter soon came, we were falling in the snow together and making snow angels. We made videos together of us falling and shoving each other into the snow for us to relive and laugh later on.

We slowly became closer and before I knew it, you were my best friend. We texted as much as possible and we would try to hang out as much as possible. But since we were in different grades and different ages, it didn't work out as much as I wanted to.

You had to work and I had music lessons outside of school. We had different group of friends even though we were best friends.

I was complicated and you were evasive.

I was in it and then you weren't.

I guess its for the best.

But in eight months of knowing each other, you helped me so much. You helped me find myself again when I was lost. I believe you help start my journey on who I'm going to become one day.

Even though it was only eight months, you taught me so much.

Even how to live without you.
