Description
At first it was a crush.
Innocent.
Simple.
Pure.
Then this crush developed
Into something truer.
He was my best friend.
There was unspoken trust.
Unspoken love.
Not the love that romances are made of.
It was better.
It was more.
This love couldn’t hurt.
This love couldn’t make me cry.
And then she came along.
And she was my best friend.
I loved her,
I still do.
But she loved him too.
But for a while,
We were all happy.
But happiness is just an illusion,
A transitory emotion.
After happiness things only get worse.
She took my place.
I just stood there and watched as I disappeared.
She tortured him with her games,
Her lies,
Her corruption,
Her love.
I watched as they fought,
But then forgave.
I watched as they shed tears of pain,
But then afterwards tears of joy.
He fought,
He cared,
He changed,
For her.
He did what he would never do for me.
And now I am here.
With my selfish wish,
That things never changed.
Now I am here
And I understand,
All I can do is watch now.
Watch and disappear.
And I will disappear.
One day,
When this high school romance is over,
He will look back and wonder
“What happened to her?”
“Where did she go?”
Or maybe,
He will just
Forget.
