“Hello.”
“Hi” where are you when I need you?
“How are you?”
“Good.” horrible. help me.
“I haven’t seen you in forever, it seems!”
“Yeah.” i know. i’ve been so lonely.
“Hey-are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” no, i’m suicidal.
“If there’s anything wrong, you can tell me, okay?”
“I know. But there isn’t.” we have so much to talk about.
Okay. Wait-what happened to your wrist?”
“Nothing. I don’t even know what it is.” yes, you do. you still have the razor.
“Are you SURE you don’t want to talk to me?”
“Yes. Now, go away.” stay if you want to know.
“Oh… um, bye.”
“Bye.” she doesn’t care about you. now you’ve lost a friend.

sometimes all we need is a person to silently look at the pain in our eyes
dont say anything but show us we are not alone
Lol it would make entirely more sense to have told her the things that you didn’t say. It’s clear this person really does care about you. But suicidal people like to refuse to tell any body the truth so they can keep up the myth that nobody cares about them and continue feeling bad for themselves.
