Breaking Up with Your Best Friend: The Movie
Where is the movie featuring this special kind of heartbreak?
It would open with us sharing our middle school awkward, high school firsts, and college regrets.
Then comes the montage reel of matching tattoos, years of laughing at the same joke, and playing games we made up and forgot the rules to.
And then there’s the tone shift as we slip into our twenties.
When I changed, and you didn’t.
The part where you thought growth meant forgetting, but I was always saving you space.
It concludes in present day, where my mom shares your social media posts with me, and I can’t tell if this pang is longing or hatred.
It’ll show me living life, promising that I am more happy than not.
But I’ll make sure they edit out the part where I cried after avoiding you in a grocery store.

Mom showing you their social media posts! Yes! I love this!
Been there, done that. Sometimes things heal, although not without a huge scar.
Love this poem
Very relatable. “You thought growth was forgetting but I was always saving you space.” Love that line.
Hits hard right now, and in preceding months.
Captured the feeling well.
Know this all too well
