letting go

I can’t hold on any longer, the hypothetical string we call friendship is slowing sliding out of my clammy, guilty hands. I did you wrong but I am not the only one who did any wrong doing. Friendship is supposed to be like two people stretching a rubber band apart, each holding one end and as more trust is put in the other being, the tighter the band goes. The only options if the band gets pulled beyond its limits is it snapping back at both people, injuring each other or one person letting go. Letting go is probably one of the formidable options because you decide at that point, that you no longer care that the other person gets full-whiplash from the snap of the ending friendship.  

Our friendship was like a peaceful snowfall, it was secretly beautiful in our own way. We fought each other, but went along with it because a sky’s day is boring without any wind. Our friendship consisted of everything a romantic relationship did, just without the intimacy. The one constant thing in my future I could see was you. 

But then our snowfall turned into a blizzard and the sky turned into a dark, scary place with no love to be felt. Our rubber band had finally split but not in the way I hoped. I prayed to the god that I no longer believed in that you would grab the other end of that stretched out rubber band again; attempt to put trust in me that was no longer capable of being there by my ignorance. See the thing is, that rubber band was never actually fractured. If you would have let me know how you were feeling in those last moments, I could have let go at the same time. Or better yet, pulled as hard as I could so it snapped. I’d rather be stuck with half of a rubber band than a full one.

i liked the idea of rubber band here... you told very true things here... i loved how you penned it as it shows the true feelings of the speaker/writer....sometimes letting go is the best option...a frndship or relationship cannot stay strong if one of the side is less careful.... full ratings...
