A Friend…

When it ended my other friendships flourished. It’s how I knew it was right. We grew apart. We were no longer aligned. You changed. I changed. And that’s okay. I didn’t cry. I wasn’t upset. I was relieved. Relieved that I didn’t have to carry a friendship alone any longer. The core of our friendship crumbled the second you uttered “do I really have to be there?”. It was never the same. An anger and deep hurt filled inside me that I didn’t even know was there. It made me bitter and resentful. until one day it didn’t. I didn’t care anymore. Just like you didn’t care. You only wanted to be there for the good, not the horrible. A true friend is there for it all. A true friend is constant, faithful, loyal and right by your side for the hardships and the joy. A friendship can never be one sided.
