• You know what you always said to me when we were alone together? Just three small little words. "I love you." So simple of words, but they cut through people like a sword when they find out the other person doesn't mean them. You left me with a hole in my heart. It keeps bleeding I don't know how to stop it, other than...but I don't want it to come to that. Sure you left me battered and broken, but that is no reason to leave all that I have behind. I just hope you know, I never stopped loving you....I just started loving someone who will love me back. I hang up the phone and wipe away tears that have built up in my eyes threatening to run over my cheeks and into the soaked ground. I love the rain, because no one can tell I am crying when I stand in the downpour.

    The next day at school i just drag my feet around, laugh occasionally at one of the jokes my friend tells. The laugh just sounded hollow and bitter, nothing i would want to hear.I make it through the day without a breakdown in any of my classes, a new personal record. I see her standing across the gym and almost break into tears. But i stifle them back and just look down hoping she doesn't see me, or that anyone else will notice the tears in my eyes.

    You walk over innocently. Trying to pretend we are still atleast friends. But that ended when you decided it was a game to rip my heart out and patch it back up again with a "sorry" or "I didn't mean it." You say hello, i just try and make it seem like i didn't hear you, even though you saying hello was like a scream above all the other loud voices in the crowd. You repeat your greeting again. I respond back with "Sorry i didn't hear you." It was followed by an awkward silence when you were trying to find something to continue the conversation on. "S-so how have you been?" you ask stumbling over the words a little bit. "If we are going to talk i would rather not do it here." I say as i get up and walk out of the gym and outside. You tag along, hoping maybe to repair this just a little bit.

    "So what do you want?" I ask plainly.
    "Just maybe to get back to some sense of normalcy around you."
    "Well that isn't going to happen," I stab back at you, "you left me broken...and you didn't even seem to care."
    "But i did care."
    "Sure, you had a funny way of showing it."
    "You never realized how much breaking up killed me did you?" She says anger rising in her tone, "You only thought about how you were broken...when i was in just as many pieces as you were when i split us up."
