Late night
Thursday of course
Back of the car with them
front of the car, my mom and her friend.
Talking about times that should've hurt but turned out funny
Laughing so hard I couldn't breathe
Haven't laughed like that in years
Feeling queasy when they talk about something scary
But listening anyway because It's the right thing to do
Even though it's uncomfortable
it helps us to grow even closer
And enjoy the sweet bits more

I'm a friend for life and that much is true,
Parting ways however....
That's something I had to learn to do.
It's only really lately that I've been the one to have that talk first.
It started with a girlfriend that was really good,
But I found out there is a term for what she would do,
It's called ghostlighting. Gaslighting in conjunction with ghosting.
Then it moved on to someone that I'd honestly rather still be in touch with,
But he would not stop breaking one boundary. I set, like, 2 boundaries tops. It shouldn't have been hard, but he had to go and say things...
But, anyway, I guess he's not me. I don't take it personally though. He's still a friend in my eyes.
Then finally a roommate, that used to be a trusted friend,
So much to go into there, but ultimately...
I had to be a landlord,
I can't wait for someone that will never grow...
That was the case in all of these.
If I could wait for any of you to catch up with me,
I wouldn't have to grow apart.
Maybe we'll cross paths in another realm.
