the story of you

Somebody Else

My heart was beating as I headed to your door, I couldn't believe we've been apart for a month. As I walk in, I'm greeted with my friends flashing cameras on me I could barely make out where you were; until I saw you. Saving best for last, I greeted each of my friends and and quickly tried to get them to finish their small talk and tan compliments, and finally, the moment I've been fantasizing about for a month, I hugged you, and god did I miss you.

After we were done with formalities and greetings we headed into your house, where something was off. You were cozying up to another one of my friends. At first I played it off as casual, that friend was known to be quite touchy and engaging, so I didn't think much of it. Until it was constant, I noticed you'd even ignore me to cozy up to her. How could you do this to me? I was hurt, for the first time by you, genuinely hurt. Of course you upset me in the past over small things but that's natural in every friendship, besides, it didn't matter that much, but this, this kills. It was pathetic how I took it, masking my tears as my friends watched "twilight". What hurt even more was how you ignored me, it was so foolish of me to assume you were just as excited to see me as I was to see you. Needless to say that was the slowest night of my life, and I'd left early to go home and cry while listening to Jaden Smith's ERYS, how ironic, it being the album with the song that made me realize how much I'd loved her. I realized how stupid I was, she led me on a 7 month road of opening up my heart and breaking down my walls, but now, I was stronger than ever. It hurt, so bad, so that was the day I decided to go back to being cold as ice.
