At the worst and best

she's the only one who understands me & how i feel. She's been there since i have memories, she has always been a shoulder to cry on. But now, I've realized that her life isn't as perfect as i thought, and it's her time to cry and break down. She tells me she has done something horrible. Self-harming. And what do i do? i get scared, i get hurt, because we have some kind of special connection and i'm serious. What hurts her, hurts me twice as hard. We talk about suicide for the first time, but i convince her about that she's not alone, she's got me, and we'll get over this together. Because i think that's what a best friend for a lifetime should do. They say a friend is not a friend until you have laughed, but also cried together. Well, we have cried with no tears, but cried. That's enough. When the rest of the world seems to be against us, we still have eachother. I'd be lost without her, and now i know, she'd be lost without me too. THAT'S love.
