Always friends, forever

I don’t want to be that person on the sidelines who goes away. After… however much time you said. But that’s okay. Perhaps I will just have to accept that I will go away, but part of me always wants to prove you wrong.

Have I proved people wrong before? Yes, I have. And I can tell that I’m not one of them; I’m the outlier that will be like the star in your empty night sky. I might disappear, I might only light up your world for a moment before I scatter into the darkness.

Maybe that’s what you see, but I want to be there all the time. You’ll have other stars that come by, come back, and relight again. I’ll keep watching, not out of jealousy for anything, but because I care.

That’s what you aren’t used to. And if you don’t care, just know this: that’s the way I care. I swore and I promised, but most of all I decided: I decided that you aren’t going anywhere.

I’ll get lost in my dreams and lose my way, but I can live without depending on you. And I’ll try not to be lonely, or ask for your company, or be scared or afraid. I’ll try not to prove you wrong, because I know I’ll do it anyway. You aren’t going anywhere, because I’m not.

always… by your side
