The End Of A Friendship

pineapple_babbit's picture

Things just happen between people
That push them apart
From the beginning
I talked to you almost everyday
You were always there for me
You complemented me
And gave me confidence
At the start
You were a friend
And even for a short time
I had a crush on you
But you started saying things
that pushed me away
I thought we were just friends
Until one night
We were talking online
About past loves
And how I haven’t had
My first kiss
You asked me out
But I didn’t feel the same way
I had to say no
For a while after
You wouldn’t talk to me
Then the only things you could say
Were insults
“You should give up
He’d never like you.”
“You don’t have a chance.”
“Your singing is so bad
It makes me want to kill myself
By running into oncoming traffic.”
That last one hurt the most
But I couldn’t let it show
“Good”
I replied
Trying to let the hurt show in my voice
“Then I’ll make sure to keep singing”
Later we talked about being on the same team
“It doesn’t matter if we are or not”
He said
“I doubt we’ll be friends by then anyways”
I didn’t say another word until the next day
“I don’t want us to be insulting each other”
I texted
“I’m sorry for anything that I have ever done
Can we go back to being normal?”
so far
Its been more than a day
And he hasn’t written back
I feel like an idiot for saying this
But I would be willing to work on our friendship
But
Maybe its better to end it
Where we are now
And even though it may be better
I still feel hurt
So this is it
I’ll ask you now
Is this the end of our friendship?

Yeah... I've been talking to

Yeah... I've been talking to people that hung out with us... One of them refuses to talk to him at all, and the others are just puting up with the insults... So it isn't just me...
*hugs*
Things will eventually work out... They always do... *Im trying to be hopeful... *
