So, there was this tragedy in high school that happened to my best friend.
Cnd it also affected me a lot too, but I, it took me a while to realize that it was also me who was grieving.
I remember I was in chemistry class and my other friend came and got me and then we found out what had happened.
I was really upset for my best friend. I was, I was, I was worried about her, I was upset for her. cnd my other friend came up to me and he said "are YOU okay"
Cnd I was like "what? Me? I mean...No? Yes? Why are you asking?"
Cnd he said "I thought that you were very close to this too, I thought that you probably would be grieving as well."
Or something to that effect.
It kinda took me aback because I hadn't thought about the fact that I also might be entitled to grieve in this situation.
He said "I just want you to know that I recognize that and I'm here for you if you need anything, like, can I get you anything?"
"Uhhh, I don't know. I guess something from the vending machine?"
Kind of just to have him do something because I didn't know.
Basically I, I, was unable to, as a teenager, I was unable to even confront the fact that I was grieving.
He came and found me outside when I was waiting for my parents and he had bought me this juice. cnd he just said like, "I'm really sorry for your loss, um I'm here for you."
It's funny I even asked him if he remembers this, he doesn't even remember doing this.
But to me it was so monumental. I had this juice in my hand and I remember looking at it kind of baffled that anyone had thought to even go out of their way to help me, to even think about me in that situation.
Cnd this sounds kind of dramatic or like extreme, or maybe like hyperbole.
But what happened was in that moment that teenager, this 16 year old boy, showed me this tiny kindness and it made all the difference.
So I wrote this song, for him.
