i remember the first time i heard the first time i heard 'best friends forever'.

i remember being alone and isolated in school. they said how they'll always be by my side.

after years of confessing secrets and laughter, she turned to me coldly and told that she had a new best friend and to leave her alone.

i remember being alone and isolated again. and again.

and again.

and eventually i didn't say 'best friends forever'. just 'best friends'.
