to my ex bestfriend.
I saw you today. You didn’t look at me though. You seem quite happy with your new friends. You’re still beautiful just like i remember you. I guess I just couldn’t stop myself from wondering if you’re actually happy. You’ve grown a lot. And changed maybe? I mean everyone has. I’d be lying if i said i don’t miss you anyone. You were such an amazing friend, bestfriend, classmate, and what not. I wish I could fix our friendship but i guess something are better left untouched. I want to ask you a 100 questions and tell you a 1000 things. I want to share with you how things changed and and then i want you to tell me how it was for you. You gave me one of the most beautiful friendship and i wish nothing but the best for you.
i hope they accomplish all their dreams, i hope they heal their trauma, i hope their self love never fades. they’ll always have a piece of my heart, i wish them all the happiness in the world
maybe someday we’ll find our way back and i’ll be there to see them become who they’re supposed to be
ex best friends are like. i found texts from you in my phone from 2014 and i didn’t stop crying for half an hour. your mother passed me in the grocery store the other day and i couldn’t meet her gaze [does she still make upside down pineapple cake for your birthday?]. i write all my “y”s with a loop at the bottom; the same way you always signed the notes we passed in class [“love you!”]. i’m full up with rage and i don’t know how to uproot the fury from my chest. from under my fingernails. i adore you more than you’ll ever know. hating you has become second nature.
I had a dream,
Just the other night.
I woke up,
Tears in my eyes.
But what I dreamt about,
Well it’s too fuzzy now to tell,
Guess it’s like you.
Cause my memories of you,
Are slowly fading as well.
Every time I chase happiness I come back worse than before.
