it was bound to happen eventually
the death of a best friend
but now
now is a bad time
on hannukkah
what kind of a miracle is that?
now im miserable
i have no fuzzy confidant who will show up at my door
i never get a chance to say goodbye
and now
i have "Life Goes On" by the Beatles stuck in my head
they have a good point, though
na na na na
life does need to go on
despite our losses and failures
despite inevitable separation
you were a good friend
you had a long life
I'll miss you dearly.
It's December already
I've been alive for over thirteen years
over thirteen years of learning and growing
making mistakes and accomplishing feats
of finding myself and uncovering layers in not only myself
Your new-ish house
your dog sleeping on the rug
my family and your family chatting comfortably
your kitchen with your hot chocolate
the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island
that's one of my happy places
When we see flaws in ourselves
we withdraw from society
curl in on ourselves
trying to hide from our insecurities.
The thing is
people struggle to understand
that their faults are a part of themselves
