...~...

he was my roommate,

My best friend,

My first love,

And my first heartbreak.

But I was just a friend.

...~...

It was a lie.
Everything we had together was a lie.
What were we?
What was I to him?

I let my thoughts trail off as tears ran down my face.
The wall behind my back was cold enough to numb my body but not my heart.

Something inside me broke every time I thought about the moments we spent together.

It might be my fault.
Maybe I was a little too delusional.
He already had all I wanted.
Why would he want me?

Suddenly I remembered something that could help.
My eyes opened and I saw a white bottle kept on the table directly in front of me.

I reached for the bottle and with shaking hands, I took out one white pill.

"This helped me before, it will help this time for sure."
It sounded as if I was reassuring myself.

I placed the pill on my tongue and took a huge gulp of water to help swallow it.

Maybe it wasn't just one pill.

I lay on the nearest couch and images began flashing in front of my eyes.
I closed my eyes just in time to see his smiling face.

Just.This.Once.
I promise.

I let myself fall into a deep slumber as I recalled the events of the past two years.
