Moving on


Dear Jamie, I have always been the shadow to your light. You were always on the top and I was always on the bottom. We are friends, at least I thought we were, but now I’m not so sure. We grew up together, we have shared so many memories. So why? Why did you change so much? I understand that we grow up, that we need to spread out, but why? Why? Why? Why? Why are you so mean towards me. What did I do wrong. I just don’t understand your logic and to be honest I no longer want to. I’m tired of your attitude. I’m cutting ties with you because that’s all I can do. To save them. My memories. Our memories. The times where we were both together and happy. Smiling and laughing and playing. When we were once friends. That way I can still keep you innocent in my head. I will no longer be your shadow, I’ll just be my own light. So, this is my goodbye. I wish you the best and I still love you. Goodbye.
