well shit
I lost my best friend 3 years ago- not lost as in dead but lost as in we only text each other on our birthdays now. Movies and books don't tell you that a friendship dying is like the sinking of a ship, you try to get higher and higher and hold onto the rails and unanswered texts, the captain tries to steer it to safety and salvage pieces of two broken hearts until you're left with memories of what once was. We were friends for a decade and knew each other's diaries by heart, I still remember her phone number and the way she took her coffee. Seeing her in streets is like breathing in a scent you forgot you knew but it immediately takes you back to a summer in '07.
Movies and books also don't tell you that friendships don't just end after one fight or incident, it's like the rusting of a bridge, the slow decay of flesh and bones and secrets. It took weeks, months- until one day I woke up and I realized I hadn't thought of her in a while. And I wrote a poem that day and I titled it 'The dying of a best friend' and I put all my love for her in a tiny box with my half of the matching pendant of a dolphin we had and stored them in a corner of my heart under the heading Grief. Where else can one hide unspent love?
It's been 3 years since I lost my best friend, lost as in I still carry our secrets in a tiny box but we only text each other on our birthdays.

Omg Ophelia you would not believe the day I had.
First horatio was like βmethinks I saw him yesternight, the king your fatherβ and Iβm all like βthe king my father???? But heβs dead; peep the nighted color of my mourning garb.β Then he tells me this wild tale of seeing the ghost of my dad and that I should totally come check it out tonight. So I go and skip my uncleβs rager, but it was cold and Marcellus forgot snacks. BUT THEN OPHELIAβThe ghost actually showed up, but it started stalking away. So Iβm like βIβm gonna follow itβ but Horatio grabs me and goes βnooo doooont! it will make you jump off a cliff or lure you in to madness!β So I pulled a knife on him, because one should always have a knife when communing with spectres loosed from hell, just common sense, and threatened to kill him and Marcellus if they wouldnβt let me go. Can you believe horatios nerve? He invites me ghost hunting and then gets all weird about me hunting ghosts!! Anyway, long story short: ran around the woods in the dead of night and lost my hat, talked to the ghost, pissed myself hence why Iβm holding my trousers andβwhy are you looking at me like my noble mind has been overthrown?
if you want, you can read my webtoon! :) is called stiff and is about some friends with abnormal abilities so if superheroes or supernatural is your kind of thing, maybe give it a go
