Best Friend Break Up

Society prepares you for romantic break ups

You ugly cry

You eat ice cream

You rant and scream

You delete all evidence of them

You watch trash TV with your friends


No one prepares you for best friend break ups

Because all those things you would do

if it were a boyfriend or girlfriend drifting away

You’d want to do with them

Your best friend


But what do you do when they’re the ones

Floating away

Just out of reach

I don’t know how to do this without you


Did I push you out to sea?

Or did you choose board the boat yourself?

This is gonna make me bawl 😭 like just admit it you hate me😭😭😭


No just kidding but this was very beautiful and relatable

This is a really great way to put it in to words. Best friend breakups are awful, i know how you feel. I’m sorry you are going through this.

I’ll definitely be listening to bridesmaid after this.

Have a good day/night🩵


You put it into words!!! I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately—it’s so difficult especially because society unfortunately doesn’t value friendship as much as romance, so, while everyone feels bad for someone going through a breakup, they’re quick to diminish the hurt of losing a best friend because they were “just a friend,” which I hate so much. Anyway I’m sorry you’re going through this 💛 and I love your writing as usual 🫶🫶

Wow. I definitely feel this. Friend break ups are so much harder than romantic ones bc they were who you went to for help, where do you go now? This writing fits that perfectly ❤️

this is so true! like what do you do?? it’s so hard to lose a friend because it’s like losing all of your support. this was a great way to describe the feeling 🫶🏼
