you said we can go get coffee
sometime
maybe

i can picture it perfectly
you: calm, collected
trying on your brand new persona
me: trying desperately not to bridge all the gaps and holes and breaks between us

how could you?

i lift my eyes to yours again.
i smile over my (tears) latte
it feels like i'm cracking from the inside out

you're telling me you don't feel the electricity
you're telling me you wanted me for a year
but now?
i'm just a coffee date
i'm just a friend
i'm just a friend
i hate how the word echoes in my head
friends
just friends
