reminder that AROMANTICS AND ASEXUALS are part of the queer community. yes, this includes the ones that are straight, cis, both cis and straight, etc. if you think otherwise, keep crying! we do not care! reblog to piss an exclusionist off.

i lost my best friend

i lost my best friend. she’s— she’s not dead. but i’ve lost her in the way that we only talk on birthdays. movies and books only portray the kinds of lost friendships where there was a huge betrayal. they don’t tell of the kind where it’s the expo marker losing its gloss after being left out to dry.

they don’t tell of the slowly sinking ship. they don’t tell of the fact that there weren’t enough lifeboats for the two of you. one of you were left on the sinking ship.

it wasn’t malicious when she left you she just didn’t realize how important that ship was to you. she just saw it as one of many that she’d be on in her life.

they don’t tell of the friendship that rots away like decaying flesh from the bone. they don’t tell you that the secrets you shared beneath the stars or in her furnace of a room in the late hours of the night would be locked in a little box you’d never share with anyone else—

you didn’t want that little box to lose its magic; to lose your half of the little friendship locket. by misplacing it. (but you know she did.)

i lost my best friend. she’s not dead. but i lost her in the way that i still carry our secrets in that tiny little box hidden in the corner of my heart, and we only text each other on our birthdays.
