Pretty Much Family

The other day I considered cutting you back all together. I found out all those things you've kept from me. And I don't know what hurt more, the things I was told or the fact that you didn't come to me first. We've been there for each other for so many years I couldn't really understand you keeping things from me. But then I thought about something I tell people all the time, you're like family. You've played such a large role in my life you've become part of my family. With that revelation I realized I couldn't cut you back. I couldn't be that hurt kid saying "I'm just not your friend anymore". See, now that we're family, I'd have to disown you. I'd have to cut a branch off of my family tree. And with that revelation I know I could never disown anyone in my family. Family is supposed to be by your side no matter what. Even when you don't know you need them. Even when you don't turn to them for help. Your family is supposed to always be your support even when you're a fuck up making the wrong decisions. So even though you haven't come to me yet, all I can do is be here for you. Be that family you may be missing. And hope that eventually you'll come to me. Although I'm mad and a little hurt, I realized I can't cut you back 'cause you're pretty much family.
