Written at a time when I was being challenged to listen more.
We used to laugh together…at the way things worked out…we used to be able to talk about anything that was on our minds…we used to be able to grab a drink…and sometimes that meant we would sit in silence…as we looked at the future ahead…those times were once so special…not going to lie…I’m going to miss those…
You told me your hopes and dreams…I tried to be supportive…because that is what I thought you needed…in a time of uncertainty…a time when we didn’t know what was going to happen…I thought if I listened…you would return the favor…but as it turns out…I thought I heard you tell me…that you would be there forever…
I thought I heard the words that you were saying…only to step back and realized I needed to listen deeper…because everything we had been through…was weighing on us each…in many different ways…I thought I heard we had a connection…but as I learned to late…letting go was best…
I thought I heard that things were fine the way they were…but it turned out that I had misunderstood…at a time in my life…when I needed a friend to listen…I had always hoped that I would be that friend to you…but now I am realizing that I am the one growing…I will be okay…but things can never be the same…
