You said let's just be friends like it was something I could switch.
Like I could turn the feelings off and find another switch.
But you still text me at midnight when you're lonely in your bed, and I still read your messages and hear them
in my head. You still call me when you're crying, still ask me for advice, and I sit there on the phone with
you and pay the heavy price. Pretending I don't love you when you're talking about a name.
Can we go back to friends? It's not the same.
I know the rules of moving on.
I know the steps by heart, but knowing isn't doing when you're standing in the dark.
You say we're better off as friends.
