I thought I had a friend.
Those words keep replaying in my mind as I try to make sense of what happened. How could someone I trusted, someone I considered a friend, turn their back on me when I needed them the most?
We met in college, bonded over shared interests and late-night study sessions. We laughed together, cried together, and shared our hopes and dreams for the future. I thought our friendship was unbreakable, that we would always have each other's backs no matter what.
But when times got tough, when I was facing personal struggles and needed a shoulder to lean on, you were nowhere to be found. You became distant, cold, and indifferent. It felt like a knife to the heart, realizing that the person I considered a friend was no longer there for me when I needed them the most.
I tried reaching out, I tried to understand what had changed between us. But all I got in return were excuses and empty promises. It became clear that our friendship was not as strong as I had thought, that maybe I had been the only one putting in the effort to keep it alive.
It hurt, it stung, it left a void in my heart. I felt betrayed, abandoned, and lost. I thought I had a friend, but it turns out I was wrong. And as I pick up the pieces of our shattered friendship, I realize that sometimes people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
I may never understand why you chose to walk away when I needed you the most. But I have learned that true friendship is not just about laughing and having a good time together. It's about being there for each other through thick and thin, it's about showing up when it matters the most.
So I thank you, for showing me who you truly are and teaching me the value of genuine friendship. And as I move forward, I do so with a heart filled with gratitude for the friends who have stood by my side, through the good times and the bad.
I thought I had a friend. But now I know that true friendships are built on trust, loyalty, and unconditional support. And I will cherish those friendships, knowing that they are the ones that truly matter in the end.
