A Word of Advice (Dear Sophie)

The next time you meet someone like me,

please do not give them the false sense of

friendship. Do not make them think you care

if you plan to leave once they start talking to you.

I mean really talking. The kind of talking you do

at three in the morning because you can't sleep because

the nightmares won't leave you alone. Please do not

befriend them if you don't plan on staying. Please tell them

if you can't handle their life. Please don't leave them for a

new group of friends you met at a church. Do not

replace them with your god. I hope your god is proud

of you. Two years of acting like you cared must have

really impressed him. So go and live for the faceless and

abandon the one who really cared about you.

Go.

Leave.

 

But the next time you meet someone like me, please do not give them a false sense of friendship.
