Sometimes in life we meet that special friend that we tend to think we have that special connection with. No, I'm not talking about a love connection here. I'm speaking of a special friend connection that is inseperable. That kind of friend that you can just be yourself around no matter what. The one that you can laugh with. Cry with. Be totally stupid with. That friend that you can trust your whole life with. All of your deepest dirtiest secrets with. Or share your silliest hopes and dreams with. That friend that you can go to when you're having problems with your lover and just vent it all out. Not really asking for advice, just needing someone to listen. That friend that you know you would drop it all for if they called in the middle of the night just to go over and be there with them if they needed you. That friend that you hang out with when you feel like the rest of the world has left you alone in a sea of waves. Then you learn that friend wasn't at all what you thought they were. You suddenly feel foolish for contacting them. They take your trust and throw it away just as fast as you gave it to them. Knowing that trust was such a big issue for you to begin with. You realize that the friendship you thought that was so special has been replaced in a matter of minutes and you never even saw it coming.
This isn't to say that other friendships aren't important, but I think everyone has that special "close" friend they depend on in life. That person that they connect with.
I found a quote tonight that made me stop and think. I guess there is a lot of truth in it and it's what I will do with this friendship that I put too much stock in. I'll love this friend from a distant now, while they continue on in life as if I don't exist. Maybe one day they will realize that something is missing and see that it is me. Will it be too late?
"People never know how special someone is until they leave, but maybe sometimes its important to leave, so they are given that chance to see how special that someone really is!"
