Love and Heartbreak

Friend Zone Girl

"It's just... I just miss her so much. I want her back... I want her back..." He whispered as tears threatened to fall down his face.

"I know"

I really did know. He was always saying the same thing over and over again. Every day. Couldn't he see how this was hurting me? But I was always there for him. Every single day. I listened to the same thing all the time. But all I could think was 'I'm stuck in the friend zone again and again'

Everyday my love for him grew. I couldn't tell him. Not now. Not ever. I was the Friendzone Girl. The best friend. The one he could count on. The one he needed to get his mind of his ex.

But there came a day, two years later when I said it. I told him how I felt. And the answer that I received shocked me.

"I love you too"

I was happy. I finally confessed my feelings and everything was great. He loved me. For a month or so, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I loved our cute moments, our silly Skype calls, our late night conversations.

But I soon saw the signs. He was still in love with her. It broke my heart that he could say one thing but really feel something else. It hurt. Still hurts.

It was his birthday last month. Even after three years, I still remembered.  I waited until exactly 12 and sent him a message. The reply I got wasn't shocking.

It made me realise. He didn't care about me the way I cared about him. I also realised maybe I didn't care about him the way I thought I did. I'd have to get over him. And the only way to do so was to say goodbye.

After all, I was just Friend zone Girl.
