" b e s t f r i e n d "

You're in Elementary school

You have a best friend

You'd always hang out on Wednesday and the weekends

You enjoyed so many trips and adventures you went on with her

Both of you would say, "best friends forever"

But

The future says, "best friends for never"

She forces or demands you to try or do something

You say no

She gets angry

A year goes by

You're now in middle school

You haven't talked to her all summer

You go to talk to her

Before you do

You get warned

That she's been talking about you

Behind your back

You change your mind and you ignore her

She still talks to you like everything is ok

But it's not

Fake

You remember your "best friend"

You miss your "best friend"

But you don't miss them

You miss the idea of a best friend

6 months go by

You're in the midst of moving

You find an old picture of you two

You sit on your bed for half an hour

Holding back tears

You give up

You clutch your pillow

You gave up on her...

So I'm finishing packing up my house and I found a picture of me and ex-best friend... I did cry... but I'm ok. So don't worry about me.
