I'm not crying. Really.
It's not like I should care, and I don't (and it's a lie). It's not like I should of peeked, and I didn't (and it's a lie). It's not like I care, and I don't (and it's a lie).
It shouldn't bother me, I never treated her like anything except some foolish, dreamy person who had their heart in the wrong place and I just happened to be an easy, convientent person to it with, whenever they so felt so. And for a while that hurt, but, whatever, I let go of that, and shut off any emotional ties (if there really were any) and stopped even bothering to say hi to them, and it was reciprocal with them not ever saying hi to me. Except for the odd moments on holidays they would call and awkardly talk for a little bit before saying bye. I never knew if they were trying to reach out and get me to be "that person I used to be", or if they felt guilty and were trying to make me feel better, because holidays are always the loneliest times. Who knows, who cares, and I'm trying not to.
But, I have to peek and find out what was going on for the past few months where I have not said a single word to her in months, and the results just make those slow tears fall and make you ache, because, well, I'm not even sure why. Can it be a sense of loss to lose someone you never had? Can you feel upset over something that you don't have a right to feel upset? There's a thing called being too emotional and I'm too emotional, too reactive, wanting to search out reasons that make me want to claw out parts of me. So I peeked. It's upsetting that someone who talks about how lonely they are and confide in me, yet can come up with so many reasons to not see me, someone who lives less than an hour away, but can find the time to see someone in Rome, halfway around the world and feel so magical. It's stupid that their magic, their hope, is the things that are so far away, are the things that are the hardest to believe in, the hardest to keep going, the hardest to know if they are real.
I guess I was just too real and couldn't give them the kind of fantasy they wanted.
Sorry.
