Just Friends

"Let's just be friends", four words I've heard before. When they are unexpected, they can rock you to the core. Like a hit to the gut that knocks your wind out. Left gasping for air when you just want to shout. A whirlwind of emotions and "what did I do wrong"s? Like a broken record player playing the same sad song. You think back to every word whether said or unsaid. So many memories swirling inside your head. "I should have said this", or "done it that way." Then maybe he'd be, still here with me today. Another night passes without you by my side. The four walls of my rooms to whom my tears I don't hide. This isnt something new. Just another heartbreak. I know I will get over you. I just dont know how long it will take. For here and right now, I will try to get some sleep. As my pillow collects, the tears I shall weep.
