Sep 2018
She came to me and told me that she did not have those kind of feelings I thought she had
I sat there quiet, letting her vent everything she had to say
After all it was her turn to play the cards
After all I am a good listener
I could tell that she expected me to have an argument with her
I just stared at her for a moment
Letting her have her moment
She thought she had me for a minute
I stood up, took out the mint I had in my mouth for those couple of minutes when she was talking
I gave her a smile as wide as an ocean
I had a lot of options of things I could do to her but then I chose to smile
Then I gave her a simple okay and a simple thank you
She wondered why I had to thank her
So she asked why I was thanking her
She wanted to know what I was thinking
She tried to link my actions to anger but found no match
This wasn't a fight match, I was wiser than she had thought I was
So then I told her that is good that she was now sincere with me
I told her it is good to be clear with everything
She then begged me to be her friend
Thinking that I was going to fall for that trap
She was still stirring up a fight
But then I smiled at her again and then I told her that she deserves to use this time for people who are as perfect as she is.
She gasped for air, the only words that escaped from her mouth were a simple, couple of wows
I could tell she was astonished by this
I assured her that she wouldn't ever see me again
She wanted me to cry or to beg for her love
Not knowing that there is only one heart that I have
And that  heart is not a prison, it does not hold people captive
I smiled at her once more, then I walked away,,
She was still shocked,
A heart broken smile handled everything better than rash thoughts would.
