     "It's still him isn't it?"

     "At this point, I only miss him when it's 3 am and I have nobody to share the stars with."

     "You miss the friendship?" she pushed.

     "No. I'll tell you what I miss. I miss the thought of having someone there. I miss having someone say 'I love you' in a way worth far more than gold. I ache for the touch that sends butterflies in my stomach, I miss the way his dark eyes would dilate once they land on me. I miss how on that July night, I was where I wanted to be, because I had him. I miss having warmth, a shoulder to cry on, the laughter and most importantly a kiss. I miss having a best friend, composed in a companion that made us so perfectly complied yet so damaged. I miss how we started, just I hated how we ended."

     "You hated how his reality started to taste."

     I laughed.

     "you can never trust the image your mind makes of an individual, it's incredible how fake your imagination can go."
