From what I thought was love, to friendship.

by Yakari Gabriel   Feb 21, 2013


"how do you manage
to still talk to her,
even when all she
does is talk about
someone else..

how do you put
your own heart away
swallow your tears and
say "I hope you're happy..."
when you feel lonelier
than branches in winter?"

maybe because
all of this, feels better
than not talking, than
wondering how she's doing

.. than losing someone again

everything is better,
than not having her at all.

    Amazing piece Yaki, boy can you write some heartfelt sad poetry!!! It always makes me reflect, even if it's not supposed to...because I think whether it's a close friendship or an even more personal relationship and something has happened to almost break the trust, it takes time to realize it's better to remember them than ignore and block out of one's life. Losing someone all over again must be even more painful, I can't even imagine, because you go through so much with him/her. Great write...Take care <3

    I love this Yaki, sometimes when love ends and two people are still friends, thats the best thing in the world because you still have them beside you, but its a rare thing and that means it should be held dearly, the friendship...

    The way you penned that fear of losing someone for good, the way you said that jealousy can come but its better to be there and watch it to not have them with you as a friend and see them happy.

    Lovely write...sorry if my comment doesn't make sense, I felt this touched a part of me.
