Sunken friendship

by stephanie   May 19, 2006


We once had a special bond,
but something ended it.
you thought too highly of yourself,
hurting me in the process.

i remembered the times,
when we went out so many times together.
we had fun, laughter and shared so many secrets with each other.
no one understood us,
but it was alright.
we had each other.
i also remembered the times,
when we cheered up each other.
when i was sad,
you would always listen to me.
you would offer advice.
when you were sad,
i used my humor
to make you laugh.
life was perfect.

until one day,
i developed feelings for you.
somehow, you discovered it.
you told me not to be mistaken,
because I'll be your best friend forever.
i was hurt, but i expected it.
i had neither the looks nor the brains.
while you on the other hand,
was kind, smart and cute.
it wasn't my first time getting rejected.
but that night, i cried myself to sleep.

i started avoiding you,
for fear of you pitying me.
i stopped glancing at you,
talking to you,
and going out with you.
i do not know how to act around you anymore.
i suddenly had nothing to talk to you about.
i no longer have you to listen to me,
to cheer me up,
and to give me advice.
but somehow,
i do not miss all this.

that was when i realized,
that the bond between us has been broken...
