Fake
Briefly

A long-standing friendship has been built on shared experiences and mutual growth, but underlying trust issues persist. The relationship has become confusing and strained, highlighted by a lack of open communication. Despite efforts to nurture trust, feelings of disillusionment arise, suggesting that the connection has morphed into something superficial. The speaker expresses fatigue with the situation, signifying a desire for genuine interaction and collaboration moving forward, hinting at a readiness to disengage from illusions and seek authenticity.
I was confused when I reached out, sure, but look, even that was a long time ago now.
We spent years building a new friendship as new people, striking sparks and setting fires with a platonic chemistry as the people we've become.
Trust isn't a thing you say but the momentum of what you've done, and I thought trust is what we were building.
I might be a witch but I don't fuck with illusions. So, blessed be, to you and yours.
