Don't Let Me Down

by Kelsie Rae

Sometimes it sucks. Being the last one standing. The last one without a significant other. The last one single and alone. Normally, I don’t mind. It’s not like I want a relationship with anyone, and my friends are happy. So damn happy it’s nauseating most days. But they deserve it. Happiness. They deserve it more than anyone. And I like being alone. I don’t have to pretend everything is okay when I’m alone.

“You’re perfect. Okay? I might not fully understand the reason behind some of your decisions, but they make you, you. I wouldn’t change a single thing about you or the experiences you went through to make you who you are today. I know it’s selfish. To think it and to say it out loud, especially considering the shit I know you’ve been through, but I mean it. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
