I don't have anyone to go to when i want to vent, so this will have to do ig <3
I'm not the kindest, not even kind. I'm not welcoming, nor am i friendly. But i try, i try for my best friend. I try because shes my only friend. I try to make her laugh and smile, because she deserves to. But it was only today that i realized..
I realized those weren't her brightest smiles, those weren't her most cherished laughs, those weren't her favorite moments, and i wasn't her favorite person.
I realized i couldn't make her smile the brightest. Not anymore.
it's not that she isn't allowed to have other friends. I'm glad she has someone to accompany her when i ghost her for months because i fall into my little depressed thoughts.
It's just hard to watch my only friend slowly drift apart and not being able to do anything. I guess it made me realize how lonely i truly was, i realized i wasn't anyone's favorite person.
And i need to learn to walk on my own.
Today..
We finally called in a while. And i saw how much she changed. I saw how awkward it became. I saw how she smiled while talking about her other best friends. I saw how we both changed. And i saw how the laughter had died down.
I saw how she finally drifted apart.
If she ever comes back, i'll always be her shoulder to cry on, the hand she holds, the person to listen to her vent without question, I'll always be here.
And if she wants me to leave, I'll leave. And if she needs me again, i'll stay without question.
I'll try to walk on my own now. I'll raise my head. I wont stand behind anyone anymore. I'll try.
I couldn't back then. I was afraid of being alone. But i'll just need to learn to grow up.
Thank You for the memories Bestie.
Sincerely, Lily.
