A Friend Like You

Written by Anonymous

“Hey, it has been a while. We haven’t talked, and I can’t tell you why. Maybe not even how I am. I just am. It doesn’t seem like the right time, not because of what is happening yet it might seem that way. I wish I could say that it doesn’t have anything to do with it, but it does. I have spent a few days thinking, wondering, and even dreaming of life and of what it would have looked like without you. A friend? A friend I never would’ve imagined. A friend I could never possibly deserve. And yet you were a friend. You were kind because of who you were, what you did, how you did it, and how you handled yourself. Despite how poorly I handled my own self. You were a person who could look at someone else’s problems and take them on as your own. Not because you could but because you wanted to. My worry, self-doubt, and everything in between. You somehow managed to help me with all those things, and yet I never did it in return. Not because I didn’t want to but because I didn’t know how. I didn’t even try. The least I can do is say I’m sorry, but how does one simply say “sorry” and not just as empty words? But actually meaning it. I’m sorry? And still you didn’t ask for forgiveness. You already forgave me.”
