Okay

It’s true that I liked her.

My heart fluttered,

My words tripped when I talked to her,

And I looked forward to seeing her everyday.

One day,

We planned to eat together,

And she introduced me to her friends.

Nice girls, the both of them.

But one of them was especially

Special.

Her eyes smiled in a way that

Made my heart skip a beat.

She would tilt her head,

Laugh,

And she was

Beautiful.

I still liked her though.

I might’ve engaged in conversation

With her friend, at times.

But I was still hers.

Over time,

We all became closer.

Except,

For the two of us.

We were always

Awkward,

But it was a

Beginner’s kind of awkward.

Now, we began to drift.

And,

We just became

Silent.

...

Things happened that way.

Some things just don’t go

The way you planned

Or the way you would imagine.

But what happened to me,

Was that,

We naturally grew apart.

While we became closer.

And it wasn’t a bad parting.

We mutually agreed things were just

Not working.

And we decided to take it slow.

Obviously, we wouldn’t make any

Kind of move

Any time soon.

We were all still friends.

But as time passed,

And we made new relationships,

And grew as individuals,

We went on our own respective paths.

My path

Looked scattered before.

Blurry even.

But the fog cleared. Eventually.

Some relationships may fade.

But it’s okay.

We grow.

And that’s just okay.
