I love you more
(You'd always reply)

Eventually
You began to say it first.
To start
With a declaration
That you loved me most
Already.
There was never any room
For me to love you
More
Or less
Than you wanted.
Usually
I didn't mind it.
Because I did love you.

Eventually
We fought
For a day
Two days
And then
Seven days
Of silence.

And I realized
I could go on living
Without you
And I heard
In the beautiful silence
Just how much
I had been listening
To you before.

(too much.)

I should have longed for you
And I did
But only
When I was lonely
Low
When I questioned myself

When we spoke again
You told me
With tears in your eyes
And a shake in your voice
That you wanted to part ways.

You cried
On the screen

I cried
Off the screen

Afterwards
When you could not
Change your mind
Out of guilt
And blame me for it
Later.

The miles stretched between us
Like a rubber band
In the hands of someone
I didn't trust anymore

I will never forget it.

There is something so final

About wishing all the best
To a best friend
You will likely never see again.

In the end
It wasn't a question of loving most.
I would have taken a bullet
If it meant you didn't have to.
In the end
I did.
I just
didn't expect
for you to hold the gun
