She walks in the room.
She spots him. Standing across the room.
He was once the object of her affection.
Everything she wanted.
She used to dream a lot about him.
But now,
Well now he was just Bill.

He waves as she gets closer.
She sits at the table.
" sorry about this, I ordered already. "
He says.
" It's fine."
She says.
They had decided to stay friends.
Well She had decided.
He never really knew of her affection for him.
She takes off her coat.
She looks at him not really sure that she made the right choice.
She can't really be sure if she made the right choice.
She can't look at him without feeling some ache in her heart.
Like something was wasted.
Her time Maybe.
Yet she still finds him impressive.
He talked to her about books.
She remembers why.

They had so much in common.
But her heart just wasn't the same.
He still feels familiar
Sometimes like he did a long time ago.
Like something safe.
Something she needed a long time ago.

He goes on about contracts and his new job.
She thinks that his hair that she once found charming is a little bit shaggy.

She's angry.
That's it.

"Are you listening to me?"
He asks.

" Yes. Of course. "

Love.
Does it dissappear.
She was sure she didn't love him anymore but she still kept contact with him.
Friends remember?
7 years was a long time of friendship.
She had to keep it.

Yes but she was hurt.
Heart broken and she needed him and he wasn't there.

She puts her cup down.
And takes her coat.
" I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. "
She says and walks out.

Love.
Of course
She loved him.
That's why she was angry.
And she needed not to be.
But she couldn't do it.
She couldn't stand another woman having his heart in all the ways she never could.

And so she had to leave.
