I remember you my friend

To my dear friend, Florence.

When one of our bestfriend was heartbroken, you were there.

 Very supportive and thoughtful. 

You did the same when I went on the same situation. 

You cried with me. 

You cried for me. 

You fought for me and tried to make me feel better. 

As I reckon, you hugged me tight. 

I heard you crying, and so I asked - why are you also in tears? 

I don’t know what to do. 

It’s the first time you broke down like this. - you responded.

Whenever I think about that, I always hope I could do the same. 

To be with you when you are down. 

And then i thought - Ahh, maybe she won’t be like me when she falls in love. Maybe she’ll be stronger, and wiser too. 

But what happened my friend? 

I thought you are stronger. I thought you are wiser. 

Why are you allowing someone to hurt you just like that?

 You’ve cried enough. 

You’ve cried a lot. 

You’ve cried more than what is needed.

That should be enough my friend. 

That’s enough! You’ve done too much. 

So heads up, carry on and enough with your bullshit. 

We’re here for you. 

We may keep on bullying you and all. 

We may not be together now. 

But we always got your back. 

And dear, we, your bestbud never forgot the things you did for us when we were down. 

At least learn to save yourself.

 Remember the wisdom you once have shared. 

Application is the key.

 Get up! 

You’re worth more than that!
