unrequited

You became my best friend, but I was only ever one of yours.

You would call unexpectedly, and I would always answer.

But I always asked first. And the one time I was desperate enough not to, your three

hour later reply left me broken. Tears, no air, and barely holding on.

You said so many conflicting things. What were lies, and what was real?

I only ever told the truth.

We both know you’re fine without me.

I was the only one in love.
