you know, in the same vein my friend told me i hold our friend group together (that i'm the anchor and the bridge) i actually am also the one who destroy things.
and i think of another friend, of her, not all the time, not anymore, but i miss her so very much. and i see her sometimes pop up in my list of friends, and i think, maybe i should reach out... but i still feel so guilty about what i did to her and she's probably happier without me. definitely happier without me.
what even am i going to say to her? hi, it's me, the person you've loved and cared for a long time ago; the person who didn't love you quite right. are you alright? are you doing well?
we planned trips together, her and I. she promised to drive me around and go to the places i've always been interested in, and sometimes i wonder if she thinks of me the same way i do her and i shake my head. it's better if she doesn't think of me at all.
but i love her, still. i wasn't very good at showing it, but i love her, and i wish her the best.
