A gemsona fusion for someone I don't even deserve to call close to me, so I won't be tagging her.

In life, there will always be those you fail to protect or simply can't. There will be a time when you don't know what to say. There are birthdays you miss and things that are unimaginably terrible and you can't say anything because you have no point from which to empathize.

The fact that I've used the word "I" at all anywhere in this is proof enough that I've already failed as a friend.
