How Does Someone Do This.

You have this grip on me, and I don't know when it appeared.

You're my best friend.

Someone I really care about.

How does someone do this to someone? I don't know.

We talk everyday. Laugh. Smile. Have nice conversations.

But I feel this grip on me, one that you caused. I used to not get this emotional at all.

You've made me emotional. You've let my barrier down. I never trusted people this much.

How does someone do this?

A simple stranger who sent a "Hi there." You let the conversation happen, you let the friendship happen so easily. How?

Your wall was stronger than that.

Then they find out about your past in the late hours of the night when you're both awake and you feel sleepy and sad. They ask you things. Make you think they care.

But then act like they don't. You don't get it.

You shared stories. Pictures. Music. Movies. Videos. Simple conversation.

You liked it so much you ignored anything bad happening to you. You made each other feel better. Your new favourite song was chosen because it's their favourite song.

How does someone do this? Change you so much, then just make it all bad again?

You were happy for once.

For once.

You felt like someone cared.

Like you belonged.

But then you don't.

You're shattered. More shattered than when you were before, once you finished picking up all your pieces and putting yourself together again. This is why your barrier was supposed to be so much stronger.

It's happened again.

Now tell me.

How does someone do this.
