everyone leaves

Somehow or another every single person you will ever meet will leave you.  Some not by choice, others choose to walk away.  Regardless or the reason, it never fails.


Right now, I can't help but focus on the ones that choose to leave.  I have actually told friends not to tell me that they would never leave because everyone leaves eventually.  I have had more than a few friends that said they would always be there.  In the end, I was always alone when I needed them.

I stopped expecting anything from people.  Not having expectations makes it harder for people to let you down. So why is it that I have no expectations yet I am still always getting hurt?  It makes no sense to me.  Am I that difficult of a person to be friends with?  Do I put too much pressure on the people that I am friends with? I didn't think that I asked too much of people so why is it that I always seem to lose those closest to me?

I pushed away my most recent "closest" friend.  He tried to tell me how he felt and I didn't understand.  I tried to but I couldn't.  Then instead of taking the time to listen to him and understand where he was coming from, I questioned him.  I questioned his friendship and pushed him away.

I tried to apologize but the damage was done.  I know I could have handled it better but I wasn't the only one in the wrong.  He wouldn't listen to me in the end.  I tried to explain, I tried to talk to him.

Now the one person I want to talk to won't talk to me.  I feel so alone even though I know I am not alone.  I know I have people who will listen.  It's nothing against them but the one person I want to talk to right now isn't there anymore.

I feel so alone and the one person who always made me feel better when I felt this way won't listen.  We still have mutual friends and I even considered trying to ask them if he was ok.  Thankfully I did talk myself out of it.  What if he is happier now that we aren't friends anymore?  What if he has moved on?  I know these questions are better left unanswered but I still wonder.  I still wonder where we would be today if we were still friends....

Instead it is just more proof that everyone leaves me in the end...
