Recently, I went through my "Friends List" in my Facebook account and deleted people that I no longer talk to. The majority of these people were for games that we needed neighbors for and others were random requests. Yet, out of all these there was one that was just time to let go.
He's probably reading this now, but perhaps it will shed light on why I deleted him. I consider friendship a two-way street. Meaning, there are no regulations we have to abide by in order for our friendship to remain. I wouldn't ask someone to be a "secret" friend. To only converse with when it's convenient for them. It isn't fair to me. Either I'm a friend or not. I will not be treated differently from others. No more.
The blame doesn't belong to him alone. I was the one who AGREED to this "friendship." So, by the same token, I can leave it behind me. I knew it wasn't going to workout but I held on to hope that it would. We don't always get what we want and perhaps, it's for the best. I've had my chance and it didn't work out. I'm okay with that. Now, it's time to finally let it rest in peace. I can finally take down the rose of a memorable time. I have my memories, I don't need a faded crumbling rose to remind me of the good times I've had.
Here's hoping to a brighter future and a farewell to yesterday.
