i really don't understand.

we've gone through so much together,

suffered,

sweated,

slogged,

slept [less]

ate [somewhat less]

weathered,

and now, 

just 10 minutes of your time,

to show your face, and say a simple

'happy birthday'

is it so difficult?

yeah, it's exams, and everyone's cramming,

but even the birthday girl has 9am paper the next day,

and so do a few of those who turned up to sing and wish her

and nobody's complaining.

so why, why, why, really?

so that's how much friendship is worth, really.

it makes me sad sometimes.

it's small, but i cant help but emo.

so that's what they mean when they say

'we're close, but not close'
