Breakup

It started with the call.
I thought he was going to tell me about his day.
He told me he was breaking up with me.

The distance isn't working
I don't see our relationship going anywhere

A knot formed in my stomach
I felt like I was going to throw up.
My mouth went dry and tasteless
Tears were streaming down my face
Words couldn't form properly

I will always love you
It's not your fault
We can still be friends

The knot in my stomach tightened
I couldn't breath
I couldn't feel anything.
My heart was racing

The call ended
And so did our relationship.
