Hey, you!
I've been sitting around for a while now, thinking about whatever the hell it is that happened to us. In fact, I've been doing that for a while now. A few weeks, months estimate. Has it been that long since you decided that I wasn't good enough to be your friend? I really don't know. Everything kind of happened too fast before I had the chance to figure it out.
Hey, you! Do you ever wonder if there was a way we could've remedied these things? Talk about it like we did before. It would go away after a while and then we'd find something wrong again. There were times we chose just to smile about it, shrug it off and hope it would go away. But it never did, did it? It just piled up. In the end there was too much, more than you and I could take.
That's the problem with feuds. There's a lot of blaming but never any solving. It's always easier to come up with reasons to break away from each other than to come up with reasons to patch things up. Everyone's got a side to the story. The funny thing is, you can't really tell if anyone's got it right. They pick out what they heard and what they know from what the other person told them. That would be enough for them to choose sides.
Afterwards, it's all downhill from there. You never can never convince them to talk it over. To put the pieces of the story that they know together. It could be the only way to solve everything. But it's too late for that now. Too many fights have happened, too many fingers pointed. Everyone is too busy being angry and too tired of being hurt. That's what they all have in common.
Then they do what they know is best for themselves, and maybe in the end - the last attempt to do something for each other. They just let it go. They let it die. They let the concept of 'them' die. Everyone moves on and "starts over". Except now, at the very back of your mind, it's always going to be there. "You did this to me. It's all your fault. Because of you, I'm like this." it's never going to be your fault. It's always theirs. Is it like that for you? Do you still think until now that none of it was your fault?
I know that we all tried to be good to each other. I think that we all knew that we were headed this way. But for all those times we got together and had what it was that we called a "good time" we tried to delay it. We tried to prove it wrong. I think it was because we all put too much pressure and expected too much out of each other. We're all to blame, I think. I wonder if you realize this too in your unguarded moments while you're having a laugh with your new friends. If anything, this whole thing has taught you what NOT to do.
Or maybe, I'm giving you too much credit.
Hey you, I still hate you for what you did. That's okay, though. You have every right to hate me just as much. I know you'll say that you don't hate me. But do me one last favor. Don't lie to me. We all know better now.
