i felt nothing
you looked at me with those deep blue eyes
and smiled
normally i would get butterflies
but i felt nothing
i just smiled back

i admit i felt a little happy
but you are nothing to obsess over any more
you're just an old friend
i feel closer to you when far apart
i see you as better than you really are

once i realize
that you are not who i created you to be
i will be free
free from these chains
free from drowning
just free
