"Yes, we're still friends."

My love, are you sure?

Are you really sure after this parting we can still be friends? To me yes, I want to be friends. But you? Do you want to?

I can already feel you pulling away. Pushing me away.

After everything we both have been through, I am shocked, yes, that you want to detach yourself from me. But, we all do drastic things. You do. I have seen you do it countless times. And I thought I was someone different.

I thought you would not dare leave me.

You did, though, so many times.

Now, it is official. You said it to me in my face to my credit. And here you are saying you want to be friends? I know you. I am not illiterate. I can tell if I am unwanted. I can tell you can not wait to spread out your wings and fly away. I can tell that this is just for casualties and you won't even go back to me or whatever after we are done conversing.

I am done. I am sorry but this is all to much. You mean a lot to me and you doing this breaks my heart and my being.

You still are my best friend. And you truly mean a lot to me for what it's worth.

"Oh, good!"
