Marla Singer Had it Right

Go read Fight Club right now.

 

I hate how

I really need you right now

because you're the only person

who asks

how I'm doing

and actually cares about my answer.

 

It's so easy

for my friends to

tell me to get over you

because they don't know

the only reason

I could ever stand

listening to them b***h

about their lives

was because

you listened to me

b***h about mine.

You actually cared enough

to not dish out advice

about things you couldn't

possibly know about

and just listen

and nod

and say

I'm sorry.

 

Now that you're gone

they'll be sorry

because they'll actually

have to listen

instead of waiting

for their turn to speak.
