Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.

I lost my best friend 3 years ago- not lost as in dead but lost as in we only text each other on our birthdays now. Movies and books don't tell you that a friendship dying is like the sinking of a ship, you try to get higher and higher and hold onto the rails and unanswered texts, the captain tries to steer it to safety and salvage pieces of two broken hearts until you're left with memories of what once was. We were friends for a decade and knew each other's diaries by heart, I still remember her phone number and the way she took her coffee. Seeing her in streets is like breathing in a scent you forgot you knew but it immediately takes you back to a summer in '07.
Movies and books also don't tell you that friendships don't just end after one fight or incident, it's like the rusting of a bridge, the slow decay of flesh and bones and secrets. It took weeks, months- until one day I woke up and I realized I hadn't thought of her in a while. And I wrote a poem that day and I titled it 'The dying of a best friend' and I put all my love for her in a tiny box with my half of the matching pendant of a dolphin we had and stored them in a corner of my heart under the heading Grief. Where else can one hide unspent love?
It's been 3 years since I lost my best friend, lost as in I still carry our secrets in a tiny box but we only text each other on our birthdays.

Edit: here's the visualizer for this piece
Finch: WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?
Elmer: It’s a choice that benefits me, I don’t see what your problem is.
Albert: But if you do that he’s going to win???
Elmer: Not necessarily! He’s not going to win immediately, so it’s not like the rest of us don’t have a chance. And I’m making a choice that gives me a chance to win. Isn’t that how you play the game?
Finch: No, you’re helping him win!!!
Elmer: It’s a mutually beneficial move! Is that not how you play?
Albert: You don’t make moves that will help someone else win!
Elmer: I’m just worried about myself! I’m trying to help myself win!
Finch: But you’re helping him!!!
Elmer: I don’t care!!!
Race: Hey, I’m not complaining here.
Albert: You don’t get a say here! You’re already winning, and this is basically going to seal your victory!
Elmer: Guys, it’s just a game.
Finch: BUT YOU’RE HELPING HIM WIN!!!
Crutchie: See, this is why I don’t play Monopoly.
Elmer: Yeah, I think I’m done...

Elmer: Hey, JoJo?
JoJo: Yeah?
Elmer: You know how I watched an episode of Supernatural with some of the guys earlier?
JoJo: ... Yeah?
Elmer: Um... So now I’m really scared with the lights off. Can, uh... Can I sleep on the floor next to your bed?
JoJo: ...
JoJo: I guess...

Finch: *walks half of the way from the dining hall to the dorm doing a C-3P0 walk and impression*

Elmer: *catches a glimpse of a fake coyote out of the corner of his eye and scares himself*

Jack: Hey, watch this. *Plays Star Wars theme song*
((thirty seconds later, there’s a knock on the bathroom door between rooms))
Davey: Come in!
Elmer: *pokes head into room* Are you guys watching Star Wars?
*****
Crutchie: *walking down the hall from the laundry room*
JoJo, Mike, and Ike: *sitting in the hall working on homework/studying*
JoJo: *looks up from textbook* What’s that noise?
Mike: What noise?
Ike: That clicking noise? Yeah, what is it?
Mike: Crutchie, is that you?
Crutchie: Oh... yeah... I creak when I walk.
