Friendships And Heartbreak Poem by Lauren C

Trusting him
With my deepest secrets
He understood me
What would hurt me the most
He could make me smile
No matter what I was going through

And he trusted me
I was the first person he called
when things went wrong
The person he turned to
when there was nowhere left to go

I loved him
We got closer
It was us against the world
Inseparable
Loving each other silently
Wishing the other would say something
Something that would make this more than a friendship
But we never did

And she came along
And he loved her too
And I stood in the background
Watching as everything
slipped through my uncompromising fingers

We distanced
We couldn't connect on that level anymore
Conversations
seemed to be filled with regret and lonely space
Empty air between us seemed to choke me
Like his hands were around my throat
squeezing tighter and tighter
Trying to get rid of the girl he couldn't forget

So I made it easy
I left
And I pretended
That he wasn't important
That we meant nothing
That I could move on
That I didn't still love him
