do you ever feel the need to ask someone if they still want you in their life because it always feels like they don’t care about you or that you are bothering them.
i have a friend. she is called my best friend. she has warm brown eyes and long straight hair. she has a big sense of pride around her. she walks down the streets as if she’s indestructible and i think, she thinks she is. i used to love her. and i still do to some extent. i’m her quiet admirerer and her quiet cheer squad member. I used to love her for standing up for the abused. I used to love her for her gentle words and kind smiles. I used to love her for all the pain she was able to carry without letting it change her. I still love her. I love that on the good days she still can be kind sometimes. I still love the fact her laughter is infectious and her eyes are still warm. But we grew apart. i can feel the drift and the coldness shift around us. i can feel her mean comments piercing through my heart and I can feel her displeasure about my faith.
I’m willing to let her go, but my Lord i don’t want to be alone. I’ve let people go before but I still can’t shake the love i have for them. I still want to check up on them to see if they grow? if they are okay? if they need help. but i know sometimes the love is to let go. and i know the heartache is the growth
Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods?
From Thomas Babington Macaulay’s Lays of Ancient Rome (via the-archetype-of-civilization)
