Wrinkled
It is often said that if you truly love someone, you will let them go if need be. This never stung as much as they did the day I had to stand beside my love as his Best Man on his Wedding Day. It wasn’t a choice he could give up on. He had to abide by the laws of the society and I had to respect his every wish even if it meant ripping my heart into shreds. We were pulled apart and there was nothing either of us could have done. We were mere puppets tied to the laws of the world. That day, I had laughed with him, congratulated him and his wife, patted him and wished him a happy life all the while wearing the facade of a perfect best friend. I was, however , ecstatically happy for him. Nothing gave me more bliss than knowing that he was happy and living a beautiful life.
