I do not know what is worse, knowing that I care for him or that he doesn't.
I am an empty shell as my heart yearns for someone I cannot have.
Tina pats my hair, holding me against her.
"Oh Anjali, I cannot bear to see you like this, cry, cry it all out but please don't sit there in silence" she is shaking next to me, holding back tears.
But I cannot cry, the tears simply won't form in my eyes.
Maybe if I cried my heart won't feel as heavy, I would be like the 5 year old me crying over my balloon. I'd cry for hours, maybe a few days but the tears would subside. They always subside. And then the heartache from losing the balloon to the wind would be gone.
But the tears won't fall, he continues to torment my very being.
"He doesn't love me Tina" I whisper against her ribcage as she holds me close to her, her heartbeat steady in my eardrum.
She finally loosens her arms from around me and looks at me.
"Then forget him if you must, my lips won't speak of him again but I cannot bear to lose you again" she holds me against her, as if she would protect me from everything in this world.
And finally, a lone tear runs down my cheek.
