No matter how long I've known you, how much you meant to me, I was apparently never enough for you.

How important am I, really, to you? So "important" that you are willing to leave me, distance yourself from me?

Over time, friendships drift apart, people distance from one another. It happens naturally. Other times it happens intentionally.

How is it that it happens with every friend I make? They distance themselves, sometimes I do, I'll admit, but I never know what I did wrong whenever it's them that distance.

What did I do? Was I too annoying? Too clingy? Did I somehow not put enough into this friendship? How so? I try so, so hard. So hard, to make friends, and to keep them, and be able to have people I'm close to.

But it's never enough. They always leave in the end. Whether it's sudden or over time, they always distance themselves, they always leave.

Sometimes, you have to let them, no matter how hard it may be.
