Some friends

I feel distant with her. Till this day, she’d still say we’re best friends. I guess we have different expectations in best friends just as we have different values in life. Like any relationship, once trust has been broken, it doesn‘t just heal.

We both knew I wasn’t her best friend in the world. There was always something there, she cared for more or held onto tighter. Even though it is not that. It is almost like, it was just a ride. The trust was lost the moment I saw her choosing her own happiness before my. At times, I really wonder does she care at all. Does she care enough to give a bit more thought? Does she care enough to ignore her own discomfort? Does she care to give up a bit of patience? Each one of these questions thickens my layer of shame. It seems she only cared when she has time to spare.

Best friend for me is that there are frequent moments where you feel the bond and even silent moments felt comfortable. But I guess it varies with people. We can only have so many friends, not to mention the 'best'. What is the 'best'?

omg, that was such evil entry.

um.. 'best friend'... i guess on one level everyone can have a best, just the best out of the lot.

though i did mention having a somewhat expectation or standard for best friend/s here.
i think a betrayal would be trusting that someone is thinking on your behalf and influencing your decisions because you thought they wanted the best for you, then only to find out they just wanted the picture to be pleasant for them.
