Wishing You were Here, Wishing you were There
Never called you perfect
Never thought you were
Never said I hated you
Never felt I could
I said I loved you
Maybe a time too many
But I don’t care
There was a time you needed me
And I always tried to be there
Crying in parking lots of baseball fields
Crying in your room
Crying in my arms
I tried be there
Because you hurt
Because you were in need
Never called you perfect
And left without a word
Never said I hated you
And then tell you how to live
All I tried to be was
your lover
Your friend
Unconditionally
Now I talk to myself
Wishing you were here
Wishing you were there

feeling validated, heard, seen, and acknowledged in a friendship is so important. it’s the most beautiful feeling i think. being able to tell someone the most private feelings, exposing yourself at the most vulnerable, and being met with empathy, understanding, and confirmation that you’re not just being whiny, spoiled, ungrateful, or any of the other self-deprecating things you tell yourself you are when you’re breaking down. to have someone bring you back to reality when you’re busy minimising your struggles, yeah, that’s really beautiful and it’s truthful. someone who sees you where you are exactly as you are, not better or worse. just you. that’s so important in a friendship. definitely the most beautiful feeling.

no, they don’t secretly hate you.
no, they’re not secretly working against you.
no, they aren’t mastermind lying to you.
be careful to not allow your anxiety and past trauma access to the controls so they can direct your thoughts down a dark path. whether this is about a significant other, your best friend, a family member, or anybody you have close to you and have a great bond with.. don’t let intrusive thoughts hammer down on it. people like you. they’re honest and open with you, cause they care about you. trust in that.

I think sometimes people look at older people and avoid them, thinking perhaps getting older is contagious, and they don’t want to catch it.
But getting older is knowledge
If you accept it as your due course
and look on it with the curiosity of a child
