The kind of way where, one day, this can’t be repaired. This friendship can’t be salvaged, and I lose everything, because I lose all of her. Because if I only have so long in the same city with Lennon, I’d rather we be able to coexist in a place where I can see her smile, hear her laugh, even if it’s not with me, rather than be the one responsible for breaking her heart down the road when I eventually fuck this up and she realizes she’s better off without me.
