Not That Goodbye

It was our last sleepover - though we didn’t know it then.

I know now that you have no feelings for me, just as you have none for her. We were simply fuel for your esteem; a hollow substitute for a romantic love that neither of us truly holds for you.

And a rebound? It is always a mistake.

So, stay with yourself for a while. Stop finding home in others and learn to be your own safe haven.

From tomorrow, you won't be a confidant. You will simply be someone I know through a close friend.

Nothing more.

Take care.
