The question I can no longer answer

My friends are usually happy. My best friend has gone and gotten herself a girlfriend, and I won't lie. Her girlfriend is fucking amazing. Thanks for the food if you read this.

But now I feel lonely.

I'm dating someone... But am I really anymore?
It doesn't feel like it. I get it he's busy, he's upset... etc... but I just want one word for god's sake!
After crying over him and my friend trying to convince me to break up with him he responds, apologizing to me. He tries to explain why he hasn't been speaking to me but
Whenever I think about it the more I believe it's for a different reason.
So when my friend asks
"How is Kal?"
I no longer know what to say.

My head goes empty
And I try to brush off the question, pretending I simply didn't hear it and before long I don't even think my friend remembers the question she asked.
Thinking of him makes my chest heavy. It makes my eyes burn with tears.

But no matter what I'm afraid I'm already too attached to the one person who treated me like an equal.
The person who has never made fun of my appearance
The person who left with no words, and just disappeared in to the sand.

Like the rest.
