i loved this so much. it made me think about the second piece i posted on here titled the same. it is heartbreaking losing someone you like romantically, but when they’re also your friend it hurts ten times worse, because all you want to do is text them about how not texting them is making you sad, and it is a cycle that keeps repeating itself until one day their absence doesn’t hurt you as much. you still think about them all the time, but not in the same way. not with the same pain.
i lost my best friend from college after an argument. i loved her deeply, and still do. my heart shattered at the realization that our friendship ended because of my fault. sometimes i wish our friendship had ended sooner, before the argument happened, because that way i wouldn't have thought it was my fault and maybe i would've been kinder to myself by realizing that it was meant to end rather than that i was to blame for it. that way i could remember her for our good time together but my memories with her are overshadowed by those last few days in which everything fell down. and i'm sure she remembers me in that way as well, if she even thinks about me at all.
This feels cathartic! I will send this to all people with whom I wanted to share what goes on in my head. How does each loss shape the new relations that begin to develop?

thank you so much :,)) and yep, you hit the nail on the head!
reminds me of a richard siken poem: "someone has to leave first. this is a very old story. there is no other version of this story"
i love richard siken. thank you, this is such a high honor <3
