Song fiction - Bruno Mars - Count on Me
----------------------------
𝒟𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝒻𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓃𝒹,
I don't know where else to start . I have so much to say even though most of it has been said in tears .
So I'll tell you a story , a familiar one . I was in the fourth grade and it was a typical day for everyone but me . For me , It was the day my life changed , for the better . I was sitting in the classroom in the corner , alone . I could hear the excited chattering and laughing the of children around me . I reading a book , laughing to myself. I wasn't the most talkative person and my fear of stepping out of my comfort zone to make friends didn't help at all . I was so afraid of not being a better person when it comes to being a great 'people' person . I still am . So as a result , I was mostly alone unless I was being picked on which was also quite rare , as I was almost invisible . I wanted to make friends , work on my communication skills but i didn't know how . They say 'a simple hello leads to a million things' well that's true . For me it is . That day there was a new student , a pretty girl who was made to sit beside me . Gathering up all my courage , I said the simple word 'hello ' . Well that was it . She became my best friend . We used to do everything together . She used to say that she would never leave me , that we would stay best friends forever . She wasn't the normal kind or friend like classmates or the the casual friends . She was like a bright shining star in my life , a special friend. She was like family , the one who helped me build my dreams and was my shoulder to cry on , she always used to be there for me .
Then there was a change , a terrible change .
Our promises of never saying goodbye , never letting go were shattered by destiny itself . I am not the kind of person to believe in fate but I couldn't help it . I couldn't accept it that our promises of lifelong friendship were broken due to some small mistakes, so I blamed it on fate . I turned a blind eye and wanted myself to believe that our friendship was never meant to be . But I couldn't bring myself to do it , to forget everything everything we had . Our friendship was a perfect balance of fun , faith and everlasting love . But maybe it wasn't enough . I cannot understand what I did wrong , please tell me . Help a friend in need .
I don't know what to do , should I bury myself under the covers and hide from the world or should I keep myself busy till the point of combustion and try to forget all about it ?
It's like I am stuck in the middle of this vast sea of loneliness and sadness , It's not the same without you . I am lost . If you remember , we made a promise , a promise to be each other's guiding light , to help each other during our time of need because that's what friends are supposed to do , isn't it ? Where are you now ?
Do you remember when we were eleven ? We used to camp out in your backyard , lay together gazing at the stars ,dreaming and laughing . It was magical , an innocent friendship of bright white wishing which has been destroyed by black edged mistakes , which we are not ready to accept. I still have the friendship bracelets we made together and just so you know , I always will . I will always be there for you , I'll never say goodbye .
I like to think that there may still be a chance to revive what we had . That It isn't to late , maybe we can still continue our voyages in the sea , slaying dragons and find neverland . Please tell me I am not wrong . Maybe we can make the final adventure together , Find the greatest treasure , friendship .
Every time i think of you not because i am alone but for the change that i have seen in you in such a short time was the reason, i wonder how can such wonderful person can change in such a short time, Was that friendship between us or all was just a dream which was now haunting me every moment of my life. I still love you the same though and I always will .
I want you to know that I will always be there for you , you can count on me like 1 2 3 and I'll be there because as my special friend once said 'that's what friends are supposed to do.'
I miss you .

I added this letter to my pile of thirty other letters . All waiting to be sent to my best friend since the last five years . Maybe she has one too . Making up my mind , I will post these letters no matter what . It has been too long and I don't think I can wait anymore . I want to talk to her but with happy tears this time.
