you know what .. 

when two of the most important people in your life, just leave you. at the same time. 

friend #1: i never expected us to be best friends, since you were my mom's friend's son, but we ended up being the greatest friends yet. you lived in the west, i lived in the east. we still met each other once a week for tuition, and for our weekly ranting session.

when you made the wrong decisions, i stood by you. when you broke up with your girl, i let you scream at me, just to make you feel better. that's what a friend is supposed to do right? when i made wrong decisions, you would tell me i was still young, we make mistakes, just let bygones be bygones. when he left me, you were the one that made sure i wouldn't cry over that jerk.

but now, we don't even text anymore. you met new friends, and began to forget about me. talking to me became a chore to you. i would always reply your texts but you wouldn't reply mine. and then when our exams were over and we stopped going to tuition, it was like our friendship never exsisted. and now, when i see you with your new friends, i miss us. i really do. 

friend #2: we got close a year ago, after becoming seating partners. you had a bad past, i tried to fix you. gradually, you became better. you didn't know how to socialise and make new friends, i stood by you and you tried to talk to someone new. when you got bad grades for your final year examinations, i skipped 4 periods of class sitting in the toilet with you as you cried. you even mentioned suicide. you know how scary that was for me? 

ever since you moved to a different class, things changed. sure, in the beginning we still talked on the phone and tried to make plans even though our schedules always clashed. somewhere in between all that, you stopped trying. no more late night talks on the phone, no more 'hey you ok?' texts, no more 'sup homie!' when i saw you in the hallway. zero, zilch. 

now, i don't hate you, yet i don't exactly like what you've become. you made new friends, i'm happy for you. but you threw me aside, like i never mattered at all. 

i guess, i'm not that important a person eh? just leave whenever you wanna, it's not like i'd be upset or something, right?
