Clark, Dodie - I Knew You Once Lyrics






I knew you once
And it was nice
I knew your brain and your heart
All your insides

Oh I could tell
Just with a look
What you were thinking
That's all it took

You shared your secrets
And I shared mine
Silence was comfy
Without having to try

We swapped our smiles
Gifted advice
Yes, I knew you once
And it was nice

    this song really comfort’s me in a way that i didn’t expect. it made me a little more joyful.

    i know her now and i hope that we never have to say goodbye

    Dear ex friend:
    You came into my life for a reason, and I was in yours for a reason. I know we ended up in different places, we both wanted opposite. I loved you and you didn’t want that. You were my first of a lot of things. Thank you I pray for you still.

  4. M.... J....

    my partner did some art about their ex and put this song in the caption...should I be worried

    This is going to get lost in all the other comments but to my old friends: I knew you once. I remember the seven years we were a big group, with fights and fall outs that we always got over. I remember it was all happy and we used to do everything together. Then I remember one of you turned toxic. Then another joined her. The rest of you started to ignore it. Ignore me. I remember having to run from you at lunch and hide in the toilets. I remember not being able to talk because you were the only friends I had. I remember leaving. You are all still friends with the toxic two. You know I still can't stand them and I can't be friends with you if they're there. I wish I could be friends with you as I have no one now. I miss you.

    I knew a girl once. We became best friends quickly at 8 years old and were friends on and off for years. A couple of those years we didn’t talk to each other at all but eventually we came back together and were friends again. Yet still she cut me out of her life due to something very small and it made me feel so bad for ages. It’s been months since we’ve spoken now and I don’t even know if I’m going to see her ever again. We’re not as school anymore and her family has moved away. I feel such a strong nostalgia over all our memories but I still see all her manipulative behaviour that hurt me even as an 8 year old. Right before school ended I was given a chance to reach out to her. I told her I hated how things turned out between us. She agreed and said she missed me. I missed her too, I nearly cried but still even as I was the one to extend a hand she pulled hers back as quickly as she pulled it out to mine. I knew her once and I’ll never forget the great times of friendship we had together but I’ll always remember the hurt I carried with it.

    It’s 1am as I watch this. All is quiet, the family is asleep - until Dodie sneezed. Then I bust out laughing. Seriously, who opens a video with a sneeze?

    Dear M
    I liked being friends with you sometimes
    Though you were mean
    And you would lie
    And put me down
    And blame me
    We’d have fun
    I know you could have been a better person, when we were really young, you were kind
    Still
    I miss you in a weird way

    Dear J
    You were a true friend
    I knew you better than I knew some other friends who tricked me
    I didn’t realise it but you were one of my best friends
    I liked you for a long time
    You never really told me you knew
    But I think you did
    I miss you more than words can describe
    I don’t feel about you the way I did before
    I don’t like you in that way now
    But
    I miss you

  13. A.... O....

    Dear Cameron,
    I knew you once at least I thought. But you broke my heart and my trust to the point I couldn’t look at you the same anymore that you completely became a stranger to me. I told you so much that happened in my mind we exchanged what would happen in our lives but I never really got to know you for what your mind really was until then...I went to you when I was alone, upset, or couldn’t be with my closest friends that I started depending on you instead of enjoy the friendship. We had our good moments and bad ones. But now I’m here ready to accept that I’ve cut ties with you breaking my heart and trust. As a new year begins so does a new decade come to bloom. I hope you learn from our friendship to learn to think about others for once like how I need to think more for myself as a person. Goodbye I hope the best for you...

    I used to know this boy. It was so nice. We’d been friends since I was born (he’s one year older than me) but we didn’t get close until I was 13. We did theater together and talked more and we became really close friends. He was anxious and funny and talented and beautiful and i fell in love with him. And I thought he felt the same way so I told him and he didn’t reciprocate. We didn’t talk for about a year. He’s the kind of person that isolates himself when he doesn’t know how to approach a situation. But somehow after that year was over we ended up on the same bus home and got to talking. We then took the bus home together everyday for the next eight months. He was my best friend. I could tell him anything and everything. We would sing together at the bus stop and laugh our faces off at weird jokes and he would try to teach me how to beat box and I would try to teach him high notes. And it was the best friendship. But it all made those feelings come back and I was more in love with him than ever. But he graduated and went to high school and I still had one year of middle school left. And it was horrible. I finally got to high school and started doing theater again with him and we connected again as if the year apart had never happened. We actually talked about me telling him I liked him for the first time comfortably. But I didn’t know if his feelings had changed or not so I told him in November that I still liked him and surprise, he didn’t reciprocate. I started to see him in a different light after that, started think “oh shit he’ll probably never feel that way about me.” And it was hard to accept but he still stayed my friend, and we were best friends until he graduated. I haven’t seen him in a few years but we still talk occasionally and I miss him. I wish we could go back to our bus ride days when I knew him like the back of my hand. I loved him once, and it was nice.

  16. Z.... ....

    Jacob,
    im sorry your parents were shitty
    im sorry they didn't accept you for being gay
    im sorry a god that was supposed to love you failed
    and most of all
    im so fucking sorry i couldn't help you.

  17. P.... G....

    dear adam
    you were my best friend, my partner in crime. we would hang out at the shopping centre being absolute idiots, spend time together at school and be even bigger idiots. i loved you truly as a friend. suddenly, everything stopped. i don't what i did to make you stop talking to me but you did. now your dating one of the girls that hurt me the most and every time i see you two together, something tugs on my heart and makes me want to cry. and i miss you, the old you. the one who would laugh just from looking at a banana, the one who morphed our faces together to create a horror beast, the person that understood me more than anyone and most importantly the person who would never hurt anyone. i want the real you back, i know it's still in there somewhere. but until then i knew you once, and it was nice and hopefully when i know you again, it'll be even better.

    My dearest Ivan:
    I knew you once, and it was nice. I miss you darling, we were best friends for 6 years, and I'm so sorry things ended like this. I'm so sorry we never said goodbye when I left. I'm so sorry your girlfriend made us stop talking. I'm so sorry I didn't wish you a merry Christmas.
    I'm so sorry it's been so long, I'm so sorry we couldn't solve it. I'm sorry my parents hate you because of how many times they've seen me cry.
    The world seems like a fever dream without our silly talks, without walking into the classroom and seeing you and your bright smile.
    I'm sorry. Please come back to me.
    Love,
    -Your little sister

    I knew you once. It was nice at first. You were my best friend, my first time, my saviour from the world. Then you were my abuser, my life-ruiner, my nightmare. Those three years were the best, and worst thing I had ever felt.

  22. a.... ....

    i keep coming back to this song.

  23. M.... M....

    Miss you

  24. L.... B....

    asa,
    i knew you once. or i guess i sorta thought i did. i listened to this the night you told me about that summer and the girl and the way you felt about her and how you were frozen with indecision. you shared your secrets before then, but i always shared mine.
    it's been a year and i dont know if i will ever know somebody else as well as i thought i knew you. love doesn't come easy for me like it did when i trusted you. but those days of knowing still make me sigh.
    i hope you're happy, my one love to end them all. i'm trying to be, too.

  25. E.... S....

    Hey, Doddie
    You are gifted to make a song and compose rythems. Your songs are very simple to listen but I can read your heart! You express your heart honestly! So you can sing your songs very naturally and I can have much connection to your songs! I appreciate you.

  26. R.... R....

    dear Alex,

    You taught me so much about myself that I am forever greatful for. Joining theatre and meeting you was one of the best decisions I ever made. We both met at a time when we were broken and I think we helped to build each other back up and make everything okay. You are the only person to truly understand me. You never judged me for my interests. Because of you I have learned to be strong and stand up for myself but I hade also accepted that it’s okay if I’m weak and cry and can’t be strong all the time. I learned that I am beautiful because of you, you also saw the best version of me and thought I was beautiful no matter what. Last night I couldn’t forget about our first date and all the times we hung out late being goofy together. In the end we still decided to be friends with college and different schools tearing us apart. Yet you left so I could achieve my dreams, so thank you for it all. Thank you for letting me go even if it is hard I know it’s better for both of us. You taught me how to love and I’ll forever be greatful for that. Thank you for making the last year and a half of my life the best ever :)

  27. P.... S....

    The level of pain this invokes at this point in my life is earth shattering. I hope one day I can look back and say, I knew you once, without crying.

    What an entry

  29. s.... a....

    dear s,


    i knew u once. do u remember when we'd use to run out my mom's van when dropping u off after school ? we'd run by the lemon bushes, watching as the big tree in your neighbors house turned bright red then brown.
    do u remember making potions with boiling lemon water and marker ink ?
    do u remember swimming at ur neighbor's pool in the summer, pretending to be mermaids ?
    we'd bake & find recipes & do precise ingredients, very unlike what me & my friends do now. things have changed. the tree still turns crimson every fall but u & i have changed a thousand times since then. i haven't really seen u since the morning after the last dance & u take a donut to go, ur nana picked u up from my house. who knew it would be the last ?
    i knew u once. do u remember how it felt being best friends ? i can't anymore. sometimes i think i never liked u but it's cold nights like this, looking at ur story & seeing that big red tree that remind me that i knew u once. & it was nice.

    I started listening to dodie like three or four months ago. I was scared because I was in love with one of my best friend and I tried to find some songs that could've described my feelings for her. The first song I discovered was "She", and it was perfect. It was so nice to "feel oddly good to hurt". One month ago, I told my friend I like her. She said she loved me back, but she's really uncomfortable with her sexuality and started avoiding me at school and in chat.
    I knew her once, and now we're just two classmates who talk to each other rarely. I miss her so much, but she doesn't seem to miss me. Hell, what the fuck did happened to us?

    I'm sorry if there are some mistakes, I'm Italian and I'm not really good in English, I just wanted to vent and let all out because this song means a lot to me now.

  31. s.... a....

    dear d,

    i knew u once. do u remember how it felt being friends ? i...almost can't anymore. we were best friends, i told u every, everything. back when u didn't have a phone, back when school email was the only way to communicate, back when we'd talk abt easton & make huge diagrams on ur white board & i'd sit in ur room on the trunk by the window & we would talk forever and jump out your window.
    i knew u once. do u remember how it felt being in love ? strange and new, i embraced it so easily, so quickly, i threw all i had into it even tho u came out of nowhere. & somehow i got nothing back. do u remember ? it was then, that wordless march and april in which i realized, i knew u once, the real u. but now all i know is a selfish boy.
    i knew u once ! ur songs, ur poetry, our strange comfort in each other, and all the words unspoken. i knew u once & it was so, so nice.

    You can ignore but I needed to get this out

    We used to be so close. And everything was warm and safe. What are we now more than strangers? We are just strangers. I knew you as a stubborn, loving, kind, messy, and beautiful human.
    I miss you. I miss your smile so much. Your crooked bottom row and the sharp canines. I miss them so much. The way you'd be afraid to kiss me because you thought they'd cut my lip if you weren't paying attention.
    But then one day, something changed. Your phone would ring but would never be picked up. Your texts became a rarity. An "I love you" and meaning it became a miracle.
    You became someone you never knew. And someone I will never know.

    But I knew you once. And it was nice.

  33. s.... h....

    i knew you once. and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. you were my best friend. you made me so happy. you were the light of my life. im so glad i met you, you were like a sister to me and you meant absolutely everything to me. we met the first day of grade seven when i accidentally hit you in the head with a volleyball. remember that? i was so worried, i ran over to you and apologized so many times and hugged you until you felt better and were giggling. i didn’t realize that with that one act i would be creating a beautiful friendship that would last for years. junior high was so bad, but it was so much better with you. you introduced me to some of my now closest friends and we made so many memories. and then high school came along and we went to different schools but kept in touch. you came to my birthday party. we were still hanging out and talking, though not much as before. and then in may, something terrible happened. your sister died in a house explosion that sent you to the hospital. we were so scared. i texted you right away. i didnt know you were hospitalized and i wanted to check up on you. you didnt answer. i called our friends and was actively reading news articles about what happened and watching the news, looking for something to do with you. we found out which hospital you were in, but we couldnt visit you. family-only. but, there was a 92% chance of recovery for you. i was so happy when i found out, i went out and bought us matching necklaces, one with a locket in the shape of a heart (yours) and one with two hearts intertwined (mine) for your birthday which was coming up in a few days. well you were never one to do as people expected and you passed away 6 days before your 17th birthday. i was broken. so lost. it felt like all the light had drained from the world and that i was alone and empty, no longer having your guidance and happiness and love. i wear your necklace every single day. i wore it to your funeral. your mom was all alone, both of her daughters were gone and she had lost her house. i hope shes doing better. the police said that it was most likely your “father” who caused the explosion but he cant be persecuted after his death. its been a few months now and i hope youre in a better place but god we miss you so fucking much. all of our friends were sobbing, our strongest friend found comfort in my arms, our friend group has grown closer once again but it’s terrible that it had to happen this way. i had planned to invite you to my birthday next month but i guess i cant do that anymore. i love you so fucking much and i miss you every day. you were and still are the light of my life and my bestest friend. i love you dorna, and i cant wait to see you again ❤️ rest in peace my angel ❤️🕊 02.09.19

    I knew her once. We listened to dodie songs together in sixth grade in the snow, the phone perched on a swing and us kneeling in the icy woodchips. I knew her once.

  35. A.... L....

    Love the hummings sounds:
    1:23 - 1:55

  36. m.... ....

    i knew her once. and it was nice. we walked home together after school every day. we knew eachother like nobody else did. i remember going to the park with her. i remember laying in my bed on our phones recording videos and laughing. i never knew how much she meant to me until we both ended up at different schools. i think about her every day, and though we still text, it's not the same. i knew her once. it really was nice.

  37. j.... ....

    To my mom, I'm sorry I failed you. But how was I supposed to know? I was only 9 at the time, I was a stupid little kid. And years later I still am. But it was as if you trusted me with your own life, as you drove home from the doctor's to check back on us at home. And then how you sat at the bottom of the staircase, weak and nearly unconscious. I was worried, as I ran to the phone to call dad who was at work. Then, doctors rushed in and in moments you were gone.

    That was the last time I ever saw you.

    So yes, I knew you once.

    And it was the last. <3

  38. S.... D....

    This feels bittersweet. I can apply this song to so many people in my life, and now I’m alone and tired, but I knew them once, and it was nice.

  39. S.... S....

    Beautiful song. Beautifully sung!

    Dear Eve, my crush.

    I knew you once, and it was nice. I knew your heart, your desires all of your thoughts. Oh, I could tell when I looked at you what you were thinking, without knowing at all. You shared your thoughts, and I shared all mine. Silence was perfect, I guess, I never try. We swapped our numbers. We talked all day. Yes, I knew you once.


    But you ran away.

    - Sarah

  41. j.... a....

    I knew her once, I knew everything about her but now I don’t even know her favorite color, she’s a stranger.

  42. N.... A....

    I miss you , both of you. So much, so nights it still hurts like to first did..and I wish I still didn't remember what it was like to know you

  43. J.... R....

    best of friends. never one without the other. until middle school screwed us up. we were apart, and our intrests drifted apart. soon we had little in common. but i still see you on my instagram feed every now and then. i dont blame you, but i do miss you. because i knew you once, and it was nice.

  44. j.... ....

    Dear ex,
    I knew you once and it was nice. Do you remember all the happiness or was that also one way. Do you remember the magic or was that not there either. Do you remember how much pressure was on us and how down we both were. Do you remember how much I tried to help and how much you didn't. But I was in love despartly in love. You now hate my guts and refuse to even notice me. For a long time I blamed myself but it was never my fault, you broke my little black heart into trillions of pieces. You've changed I don't like this new you so I knew you once and it was nice

  45. E.... l....

    I lost my cat today. I needed help to get the tears out. Thank you for such a beautiful, helpful song

  46. N.... B....

    Listening with headphones with the bit of white noise in the background really works with the vibes of this song. I keep coming back to this. Dodie is the best thing that could happen to my incoherent feels <3

  47. A.... A....

    strangers to best friends to my first love and back to strangers. i loved you. so deeply. i supported every relationship you had, despite suffering. but when i developed a tinge of happiness in another... you said no. your wish was always my command. i think about how much i should hate you. your personality is so, so terrible and snobby. why do i still love you? now, though we’re back to friends and i’m still in love, we are still strangers, because i never knew how much i didn’t know about you. i knew you once... it was nice. but now i’ve suffered twice.

  48. c.... m....

    I knew you once, and I wish I could know you again.

  49. t.... ....

    dear juliana,
    i knew you once. we would talk everyday and you were the last person i was open about my emotions with. do you remember being at the beach and laughing till the sun was gone? do you miss me like i miss you? i know we ended things a little rough, and its almost been two years since we've spoken. do you remember talking for hours on end, and there was almost never silence because we could talk about anything and everything? do you remember that when it was silent, it was comforting because i was there, and you were too. do you remember screaming out song lyrics in the car, even if it was parked in the garage? do you remember sleepovers where we would stay up till the early morning laughing at dumb jokes, then you going to football after having an hour of sleep? and this may get lost in the sea of comments but juliana;
    i knew you once. and it was nice. i wish i knew you now. that would be better

    I knew him once.
    We were both young, I was a teenager who thought she knew life already. Thought she knew love.
    Then I met you, and I didn’t notice you, and you didn’t notice me. But later on, I noticed how kind you were despite what you said or acted like. How you made me feel as if I was important, and nothing about me was unimportant. We started to talk. I knew you, you knew me. You nearly left several times, and each time, it felt like losing a part of my soul, because each time, I realized how each person has one person who they were connected to, no matter what. A soulmate in every sense of the word. But you came back every time, and so did my feelings for you. And so did yours. There comes a point, though, where goodbye is inevitable. Your past and your thoughts get the best of you, and even though you cared for me, you had to leave. And though you said you still wanted to keep in contact, there was nothing I could do but cut the thin rope that was still holding us together.
    I knew you once. It was nice. And now we’re thousands miles away, and now we haven’t talked in months, but I know you still. And if you have hope we’ll meet again, then so will I. I hope I’ll know you like I did before, but there’s no doubt i’ll love you like I did back then

  52. P.... E....

    Hey Emily. you changed my life. I hope you remember me too. The playground we'd meet at every Thursday so our moms could have a book club. we stood up for each other in school. we would play dress-up in your basement. we would play kitchen in my living room. I hope you remember how much I liked you and how much you made me smile everyday. how you were always focused on what was best, the future, and how you wanted to be a vet some day and save the lives of animals. you inspired me to be myself. to never give in to other people telling you how to feel and how to be. you changed my life. I knew you once. and i never forgot.

  55. J.... Y....

    i was in a toxic relationship for seven months. he was my everything. i fell in love with him, and i truly believed i’d be with him for my entire life. I was content, and happy, for a while. I didn’t realise he wasn’t a good person, because I loved him, he couldn’t be what everyone said about him, right? He ended up cheating on me, denying it, blaming me for it, and breaking my heart. I still love him, more than anything in the whole world, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to live without him. I’m not me without him. someone please tell me how to survive..

    dear h

    we met by pure fate.
    i remember the first time i met you.
    you gave me a smile and told me to sit next to you

    i couldn’t believe i was so lucky to have made a friend so soon.
    i knew you for 4 years and within those years we joke about the stupidest stuff. we made catchy sayings and bonded over our favorite band.

    slowly distance became noticeable. you wouldn’t look me in the eyes anymore. but we fought through it. i remember the last thing i told you was see you later. i wish i knew you wouldn’t return my calls or texts the day after.

    There was a boy. We were best friends in primary school and pretty much inseparable. Then he moved away for a year and we lost contact. A few years later I found him on Facebook, but I was too scared to text him. This year, a few months ago, I met him on the train. We go to the same university now, but it was weird. I mean we talked a bit and I even asked for his number, but it wasn't the same. I guess the ten years have made us both very different people, and we just don't click anymore, so now we just awkwardly say hi when we see each other on campus. It's kinda sad, but hey, I knew him once, and it was pretty great.

  64. L.... H....

    I don’t usually comment on videos or post personal things online. But today is different. There’s something quite therapeutic about writing down you’re feeling. My interpretations slightly different to the majority. It’s about my mum. My mum was my absolute best friend in the whole world. I could be 100% myself around her, we knew each other better than anyone else and we could be comfortably silent in each other’s company. Then, she separated from my Dad and she turned into what I can only describe as a monster. She’s been emotionally abusive. She’s trying to make amends now, but I’m still deeply hurt. This song is a nice reminder of the mum I used to have. How beautiful our friendship was.

  65. f.... ....

    Dear Emily. I knew you once and I'll never forget you but you will forget about me because you never actually even like me. I thought we were friends but you just don't care. Sorry for all I've done :((

    we're still friends and all that, no need to worry right? i guess what hurts is seeing our corner in that coffee shop and feeling your arms around me and kind of knowing that we'll never get there again. what hurts is hearing your name and seeing you smile and knowing that i didn't cause that smile, knowing that the way you smile at them is the way you'll never look at me again. i miss you. i miss the constant chatting and the joy and the love. i miss you calling me beautiful, i miss being able to tell you things. i miss truly hugging you. we're still friends, but i don't know you anymore. you're here but i miss you. i knew you once and i miss you now.

    I lost my best friend 2 months ago, who was the only one with whom I could sit for hours in silence and it was still perfect and not the slightest bit uncomfortable.
    It was my fault that I lost that, even tho I wasnt aware of my mistakes, and that I took too long to sent that letter.

    I will never get our friendship back, and I will never find one as close and as good as what we had was. I will never not regret my mistakes, and that it took me so long to bring up the courage to try to make it better.

    And the worst of all is, that trying to get over it just feels like betraying her, that I just dont want to let her go, even though that would be the right thing.

    I am so, so sorry and I miss you so much.
    I knew you once, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

    How are you so good at singing?!?

  71. S.... D....

    i knew her once.

    she hasn’t changed a lot, I still love her (best friend) a lot. But she just has other friends and I’m happy for her and I don’t want be jealous but she always drags them into what we do and will always stop me from being the chaotic person I am. It sucks. I suck for feeling this freaking way

  72. a.... ....

    Maybe this makes it to you liz, or maybe it all blows up in my face but i knew you once. and it was so nice, you were my best friend and i took that for granted. you were always by my side and you loved me, but the hurt that i was in after being cheated on was so heavy. i tried to take down everything good in my life, and i'm so sorry that in that hurt, i pushed you away. we had our issues and our fights, but i could always count on you and i'm so sorry that i wasnt that for you. But now you have a new best friend, and want nothing to do with me, which i understand. All i want for you is a best friend who loves you and treats you like a best friend should. You were my sister, i practically spent my life with you and i regret so much to have thrown that away. i love you, and i want you happy, because you deserve the happiness and trust that you've been looking for for so long, and i'm so glad you found it, even though its without me.

    Dear Kaya,
    I knew you once. I remember we would cry with each other on our school camp bunk beds, confess we liked each other. We were closer than ever, we went to each others houses and fed each other donuts. Sing and shout musical songs and references, and text each other for hours. We went to a dodie concert and I cried on you a lot and we danced together. Before we went, we walked to your old elementary school and took photos until the sun went down. I almost sung She to you. We walked three miles to the store and bought snacks, and we ate sub sandwiches with each other. I would rest my head on your shoulder and lay on your chest, we would put rainbow stickers on each others faces. We would talk about our problems to each other, and each other only. We would call each other and make tea as if we were in the same room as you asked me what if questions about the kids in our class. We wore matching rainbow outfits and I would braid your hair in class. You gave me your dress after fifth grade graduation and I gave it back months later. We would snicker at dirty jokes and sing to music in the radio. We would take Polaroid pictures and watch Bobs Burgers together, we shared a locker and you filled it with clothes. We shared water bottles when we got thirsty without hesitation. In art class I would sit on your lap as we watched bob ross, your arms wrapped around me. You'd twirl my hair and talk to others while I rested happily on you, sketching in hearts and rainbows. And now, you've found new friends who make you smile. They make you laugh and boost your confidence. Im glad you found people who make you feel happy, and it warms my heart watching you walk to the bus, talking to the group of people. I don't know you anymore. And.. The old days.. It was nice. But we're living in the present now. I hope you find happiness in the days to come.

  74. K.... ....

    I see everyone else doing it.. but I know if I vent out what I feel I might be attacked..
    Fuck it.







    Dear Joey, I knew you once, and it was nice. Everytime I hear this song I think of you and everything we were... But I also remember how much I've fucked up. Cheating on you was the worst decision of my life.. I loved you so fucking much and I ruined it. I should've never dragged you along like I did.. and you have every right to call me names like you do.. I was the worst person ever..
    You... You were the light of my life. I fucking miss you but I know you don't feel the same. I know that you would rather die than ever talk to me again..

    I knew you once..
    And it was nice...

    feels weird. used to talk to her, but we stopped for a while. and it grew to months. we still do talk, just a bit but it’s so awkward. hope she’s feeling better with new friends. her birthday’s this Sunday whoops.

    Hi. Quick story. I had a friend. I don't want to say her name. I met her when i was 4. Along with her brother. Me and my brother became the best of friends with them. We were a group of four crazy children. Two girls and two boys. They moved away and didn't tell us where. We lost touch. I cried and still cry over them. Wherever you are, thanks for being my besties.

    when this song first came out i never thought i would relate to it i just thought it would be another song i like the tune to,,,, turns out i do relate to it I meet her in dark times not really looking for love, if it wasnt for her i definitely would be dead but she came into my life and swept me off my feet. texting till early in the morning and soon enough we met in real life and called every night to go to sleep going to eachothers houses and meeting family and friends we made the forever promise,,, it wasnt true we would say you and me were set, then the other one would say were set, a year later of kisses and cuddles and forever promises she stopped the promises but it didn't really cross my mind until she said we need to talk she was moving 30 minutes away i said we could make it work she said we still needed to talk about it i tried to let it go but i couldn't, i went to a graduation part for her then the day after she came over and we talked we cried into eachothers arms and cuddled as she told me shes not strong enough for me, and i guess i understand but she doesn't need to be strong for me im strong enough, i miss her so much still it fucking hurts so bad

  78. C.... ....

    bless u

  79. a.... ....

    to my friend,
    i'm so sorry. i don't really know you anymore but that one year was the best in my life. thank you for being there to even just smile at me. i'm sorry my confession ruined everything. i'm so so sorry. i hope you can look back and remember me still as a friend. love, eth.

  80. B.... A....

    Oh please please!

  81. M.... A....

    A year ago. We were close and we knew each other inside out. We’ve drifted apart, still talking, but not the same. I knew you once. Properly. Not anymore.

  82. e.... ....

    I knew him once — the prettiest, goofiest dork you’d ever meet. a kind smile, red hair, more freckles than stars in the sky. his cheeks would get rosy and pink, even inside with the ac on. he made me happy for 2 years; and then I broke his heart. entirely my fault, I understand now. I’m a better person now, and I wish I could talk to him again, but every message I send doesn’t deliver.
    yes, I knew him once, and it was nice.
    I’m sorry, Andrew. I hope you’re doing better without me, and that high school treats you well, love. 💞 you were the first person I fell in love with; I will always be in love with you.

  83. m.... o....

    My best friend
    It hurts so much to hear her talk about her crush..
    "i love her so much aahhh!!!"
    "i adore her gaaaah"
    and it goes on
    I hear her say that and it hurts so much
    We promised eachother we'll always be together
    but hearing her love that girl she only met yesterday more than me,, hurts
    It might be jealousy
    But
    It's fear
    I don't want to lose her
    It hurts
    So so much..
    I feel so worthless
    2:07
    She went to sleep 2 hours ago
    I'm still thinking about her, crying
    I've never felt so bad.. :/

    Listening to this song several months ago while missing someone was incredibly difficult. Listening to this song now coming out the other side and feeling okay is a beautiful experience.

    jasper,
    hi, i still remember the first time we met a couple days before kindergarten at your house. we played with dolls at your house with our backs facing each other, completely ignoring one another, but you don’t remember that.

    you remember the first day of kindergarten where we hugged and acted like we’ve known each other for years despite only having hung out once. i don’t remember that.

    i remember my friends from first through forth grade who didn’t like you and didn’t want me to like you. they would hide me in the coat racks whenever you walked by. but we stayed friends because we loved each other.

    i remember in fifth grade when we would exchange books and monster high dolls. we would talk about those things for hours on end.

    i remember we would write songs and sing them to each other. we would film music videos on our ipods and we thought they were so good.

    we stayed up all night talking about the boys we liked. we would write stories together and have characters based off of the boys we liked. we came up with funny nicknames like jantalope and cornstarch. i remember how i got you a container of cornstarch for your birthday as a joke.

    i remember in seventh grade when we first admitted to each other that we were having gay thoughts. we were dancing to fall out boy in my room and then watched orphan black after and pretended the conversation never happened.

    i remember a month later on halloween when i told you i thought i was gay. you were the first person i told.

    i remember when we kissed. we were having a sleepover and we wanted to know what it felt like. we waited in the pitch darkness of your bedroom.

    i remember things getting awkward after. we couldn’t talk without feeling weird. we decided to take a break from friendship for a while. i was devastated.

    i remember when we started talking again and everything felt like it was right again. but that only lasted a year or so.

    i remember you wouldn’t tell me things. i remember you not listening to me. i remember telling you my darkest thoughts and you ignoring them.

    i remember when you came out to me as trans. you never really told me. i found out through a post on your instagram. it hurt that you didn’t tell your best friend.

    i remember falling out again. it was my fault. i felt like we were going in different directions. we weren’t similar anymore. we didn’t agree and we didn’t have many similar interests.

    i remember talking to you again later in the summer. and everything felt good. you helped me ask out a girl i liked, though i didn’t really like her, i just wanted a girlfriend.

    we’re still talking, but barely. you’ve moved schools and i never see you anymore. we’re both so busy and we don’t put in much effort. i want it to work, but i’m afraid we’ll fall apart again.

    i missed you, but i know i don’t need you. i’ve lived without you before and survived, i just like having you around i guess.

  87. L.... S....

    Those harmonies im dead

  88. s.... t....

    I miss you.
    I'm losing you.
    I'm being replaced.
    And while I'm trying to accept that fact
    It's hard
    Cause you've always been there for me
    And now you're just...
    Not

    Remember playing the cheerio game? Remember the times we would just silently sit on hex and it would be the most comfortable feeling in the world?
    Remember talking on the phone for hours and hours and not realizing it?
    Remember promising to keep talking over summer?
    Remember promising you'll always be here for me, and that you weren't leaving?
    Remember every sleepover?
    Remember feeling content for once?
    Remember the 3am talks, confessing our deepest insecurities?
    Remember how good it felt to finally feel like you belong?

    There's so much I want to tell you, but I just can't, and now I have no one to tell. I can't trust you anymore.

    You told him about my reason for dating him after swearing you wouldn't.
    You outed me when I *wasn't ready.*
    You chose, over and over again, to not stay with me during pa.
    You choose, over and over again, to not bother texting me and asking how I am.
    You decide, over and over again, that's it's okay to leave me with her since we're dating and not ever hang out with me

    You decide, every day, to let more of me and what we had slip away into nothingness.

    I miss you.
    I wish things were different.
    But it's up to you now.
    I've done all I could.

  89. o.... o....

    You came , and as quickly as you came you left .

    You left a scar , but I grew , and you no longer hurt me .

    I am a woman now , and I have seen , that words although they hurt , don’t mean a thing .

    I knew him once .

  90. A.... s....

    Reminds me of my sister. She and I live apart and even though we are still in the same state it feels like we are world's apart. I miss her so much and the games we used to play. She taught me how to imagine worlds and create amazing stories while I taught her how to be safe around others and learn to trust...I miss her so much.

  91. z.... s....

    starr,
    my little ember. i love you, okay? and i know you've moved and that you left me here but i don't care because i love you. i always have. i don't know how you didn't notice my heart eyes. i was, and still am, head-over-heels for you. i always will be.

    ember, i knew you once.
    and i want to know you again.
    if you see this,




    wanna go get coffee sometime?

  92. L.... G....

    mia,

    i’m sorry. we were best friends. you and i would always take walks to the library together and talk for hours. you were kind. you helped me come out to my friends and you let me play with your dogs when i was feeling down.

    we both have done a lot of shitty things the past year though.

    we messed up.

    i’m sorry i didn’t come to your birthday party and i’m sorry i didn’t come to your going away party. i’m sorry i’m ignoring your texts and that i’m avoiding you. we haven’t spoke for a month and you’re leaving for germany soon. i’m sorry i’ve been such a shitty friend, but you haven’t been so great either.

    we both caused this to explode and become untouchable. it was inevitable. we never really liked the same things or the same people. we were so insanely different, we still are. i don’t know how we worked for so long, but we did. and it was fun. and i was happy, but all good things must come to an end, right?

    i don’t know if i love you anymore, and i’m sorry for that. i did at some point. i know i did. you changed me a lot for the better and i hope i did the same for you. we could tell each other everything, but now it feels like i can’t say a word to you without us drifting further apart.

    once more, i’m sorry i haven’t spoken to you for a while and i’m sorry in advance that i probably won’t speak to you until you leave.

    and i’m sorry i never had the courage to say any of this to you.

    i hope you’re doing well, i hope in the future we can see each other at a bar or café and remember one another for the happy times we shared together, not the sad.

    i miss you

  93. L.... G....

    honestly,, one her best songs

  94. M.... ....

    god i miss him.

  95. S.... D....

    I was a great friend this person. They were a great person to me. Until something happened. Something...changed. They stopped asking me about my day, and it was just about them. Their relationship problems, their depression. Not once, do they ask about me. They discarded me when I did absolutely nothing wrong. Now, its time for high school. I have better friends. Ones who ask me how my day went, and how I'm feeling.

  96. F.... :....

    I knew you once
    Then you died

  97. n.... ....

    It was a hard and messy four years and I hope you still think of me sometimes. I’ll be honest and say that I don’t think of you often, but when I heard this, I thought of you. I might hate you and you may hate me but it was nice knowing you when I did. You knew me but not as much as I knew you. Things were one sided but I still felt safe with you. Hope you’re doing well.

    hey josh? if u happen to be reading this. i just want to tell you that i was grateful that i have met you. i'm sorry for everything u went through just because of me.
    i know we may have not been in that ideal 'relationship'.
    u didnt even like me back.
    but all i want to say is thankyou for the memories we have shared. thankyou for the best friendship anyone could offer.
    thankyou for being my sunshine when it was dark. for being there and for loving me when all i'd do was hurt and hate myself.
    and for once, thank you for being my bestfriend, and for being part of my life.
    i love you.
    and i hope you get to be happier than anyone else.

    Dear Ellen,
    years ago you knew two girls that were really special. You knew each other so well, you liked the same things, you trusted so much in each other. It was incredible. You would always say: "this is a life long relationship, we'll be friends forever".

    Then you moved.

    You saw each other again once and never more. All was forgotten. It hurt so much, I can't even put in words. It was strange, you didn't know them anymore and vice versa. But you got through it, and then you met somebody else.
    Two more girls. You began to be really close, real best friends. They were someone you could always trust, you knew that. You were inseparable.

    Then you moved. Again.

    "But is ok, we will NOT lose contact", you though. This time you moved to a really far place, no way to see each other. But with cellphones, this was not the end.
    In the beginning, everything was great. You'd called each other, tell the news, laugh together, etc. But...yeah. They forgot you.

    Now you are alone. You try to send messages sometimes, talk a little, but this doesn't work. They moved on.

    You learned the hardest way that nothing is forever. The most important people to you can become strangers in a second. That's part of life.
    Just know that you know you better than anyone else. That's one of the secrets of life: you can be happy alone. Of course, you need support from other people. But don't attach to them. Be yourself. That's all you need.

    With love, you.
