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.
