No matter how much you scratch me

I’ll forgive you

No matter how many times I’ve told you my stories

I’d do it all over again.

I know all of your feelings

We’ve cried together

Smiled together

Grieved together

And always have been there for each other.

Sometimes you leave me for a long time to collect dust

But I know that you can always come back to me

When you need me to tell you what you’ve heard before

The stories that you’ve grown up with

The stories you’ve lived through

The stories that understand you more than anyone ever could.

Friendships come and pass,

People grow up, people get worse, people change.

But you can always come to me

To tell you the stories

That bleed from the scratches

Even if they don’t feel the same way they used to

Because change is okay 

Even if it hurts.
