When someone asks me, “What’s been your biggest loss?”
I still think of you but stay silent or laugh it off like it’s a silly question. It’s weird — the answer is like a bad habit I can’t seem to break. Just like your fingers used to itch for cigarettes, my lips still itch for your name, even though we both know they’re bad for us.
You were always my partner in crime, someone I could rely on. We were so different yet so alike, but you said that’s why we worked — U were soft and fragile and I was hard and guarded.
We needed each other to survive.
So I constantly ask myself why did you hurt me?
The truth is I always imagined we’d be friends forever, but today I woke up and realized we aren’t good for each other anymore.
I may have to cut what feels like an umbilical cord and it will be the hardest thing I ever have to do.
People talk about how hard it is to break up with a significant other, but they never talk about how hard it is to break up with a friend.
No one tells you what it’s like to realize the person would have done anything for is no longer a person you can have in your life. No one tells you how hard it is to force a smile & hold back the tears every time their name is mentioned. No one tells you how hard it is to awkwardly explain to your family & other friends that you don’t talk anymore.
No one tells you how much it hurts.
But do you know what? No one is obligated to keep someone in their life who treats them according to...
