I don't know how much to say...some things may be too private, some things aren't worth telling (meaningful to me only), but today, I'm paying tribute to you, Michelle.

As my girlfriend you've stood beside me through it all. The stupid things I did, tolerated the things I said, didn't do, did but did wrongly...etc....but today, as I sit back helplessly when your group of friends invite you to discuss exam papers with them, and you decide that you're not going, because I wasn't called, I take no pleasure in this form of loyalty. It pains me that I can't make things better. I tell you now (I'll tell you when I ring you 30mins from now anyway), that if I received that email asking me to go, even if I had to put on my thickest of skin, I'd go with you. Even if I had to risk the stare of unpleasantness and hatred, I'd go. Because you don't deserve to be punished for what you didn't do.

I was stupid to feel sorry for 'friends' who don't give a damn. 'Friends' who put on a facade and later reveal the truth about themselves when the back is turned. The thing is, they didn't put a facade with you. They treated you as a friend. And even if it is now that I realise it, all friendships should be cherished....true friendships that is.
