My heart aches.
My tears fall.
My fingers shake.
My life is not the same.
He said he loved me.
He said he cared.
He said he was my friend.
He said nothing would come between us.
I spoke plainly.
I spoke honestly.
I spoke because I loved.
I spoke because he told me I could tell him anything.
I spoke because I trusted him.
I spoke because he was my friend.
Different beliefs.
That’s all it took.
Two words.
He didn’t call me.
He didn’t want to be with me anymore.
“Just friends.” He’d said.
I tried to explain.
I tried to compromise.
He didn’t hear me.
He didn’t hear my heart breaking.
He didn’t feel the tears on my cheeks.
He didn’t know how much it hurt me.
My heart aches.
My tears fall.
My fingers shake.
My life is not the same.
I loved him.
I never told him.
He never let me.
We talked about a future together.
When I spoke he didn’t think that future was possible anymore.
Different beliefs.
That’s all it took.
Two words.
I will never feel his arms around me again.
I will never get to feel his lips against my own.
I will never be able say yes to his proposal.
I will never be able to grow old with him.
I will never be able have a forever with my first love.
My first heartbreak.
