I thought you were just a friend.
I thought that you were just a best friend.
I thought that I wasn’t a relationship person.
I thought that I would never be in love.
Then I saw your Facebook status
posts, bumper stickers, updates.
The relationship status with someone unknown.
My chest squeezed.
My stomach dropped.
Did I really like you?
Was I just surprised?
Was I just desperate to feel normal, to feel love?
I thought I was just over reacting.
I thought I was just lonely.
My heart hardened.
My stomach stilled.
Now, I feel nothing.
Now, I only think, and do not feel.
I thought, and I felt.
Now, I just think.
