"I am not ready", he said to her.

She just nodded, smiling at him.

She wasn't hurt by the words.

But they still joked and laughed.

"Friends" was something they said they'll be. Today and perhaps tomorrow.

"I feel you don't care", she said to him.

He just looked at her, straight face.

He wasn't hurt or maybe he was.

But they still joked and laughed.

"Friends" was something they said they'll be. They went separate ways.
