Bff

Last Night/ This morning

Last night...
Just a little sense of panic
one of those moments,
when everyone seems to have fallen away from you.
And in my delusion I believed
my best friend is gone
and I hyperventilated and felt sick
See, shes the only one who knows me in the real skin I live in.
I panic and worry, I get all caught up cuz Ive nothing better to do
And I know in my head shes busy, 4 kids and a husband and work and Im not at the top of the list like when we were 17
So I quit calling, decided to breathe 
And wait it out

This morning...
I woke up still feeling lost without her
And a few hours went by
And I showered and ate breakfast alone in the quiet.
And a few hours later 
She called
Its instant relief
It was all in my head again.
And so she came to visit me and did all the wonderful things she does
And maybe its wrong to feel this way
But she helps me get myself back
She snaps me out of the darkness I create.  

Grateful.

Beautifully done Gina! I love how you've brought out the warring emotions - the need for companionship and not wanting to impose. Very well written! Well done!

I relate to this 100%. Sometimes I struggle with my own best friend. It is as if she is my other half, the completed piece. She makes me feel whole and all the stress I feel melts away. I love her in a very unique way.
