To My Best Friend Who Is Not My Best Friend Anymore, I Hope You Forgive Me

P.S. Not once did I ever think you would be the one to leave.

This poem is attributed to my neighboring ex-best friend whom I pushed and pushed away due to my selfishness. This poem represents who I was, as well as who I want to become to better myself- hopefully alongside her again. Not only were you my bestfriend but you were my other half- I'm crawling on my knees at your door and begging for you to forgive me.


It's been 168 hours since we've been apart and I've slept through a total of almost 100.

Seven days. 168 hours.

All unrequited effort and all alone.

Each of the seven days is a seemlessly broken record- in a sense that my own body walks this Earth, detached from my soul.

So I sit back on autopilot, as I surrender to myself. Hoping that the action of me repenting my sins will give me another chance to have you back.

Hours that stretched into days in which I don't know the name of anymore.

I'm pathetically confused- characterizing myself into a complete damsel in distress.

I'm decompensating in efforts to get help without any answers coming back to me and this pity-party I've created thus far, is all in hope of waiting for you to magically appear back, so you can save me from myself.

Day-dreaming, I find comfort in my bed as I reminisce on

every last,

little

moment.

Every secret and song session;

Every laugh and cry.

Every meal and vacation with each other.

Every hope and wish,

dream and desire;

Along with each and every goal that we use to fully dedicate ourselves to completing, together.

Forever and always, remember?


Forever yours,

Morose

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
