“Meet me by the benches.”

That’s all he said

She took a deep breath knowing well this was the end

Both hesitated to talk for awhile

The atmosphere felt nothing but vile

He broke the silence with just one sentence

The only thing left to do was accept it

He fumbled on his words

She sat there and listened carefully as this occurred

He said to”Just be friends”

It was his way of making amends

It was a stab in the heart

In seconds she had fallen apart

She did not know what to say

She had been tossed away to her dismay

She knew with those words

A friendship following through was considered simply absurd

Eyes that seemed to swell

Her smile made it appear that everything was well

“Friends will be best” She lied

All she wanted to do was cry

He felt relieved when she agreed

In her eyes he was now labelled a thief

For he had stolen her heart and tore her apart

Living in a utopia she never realized anything was wrong

She always thought together they were strong

He opened his arms for one more embrace

She sat frozen and was only able to stare at his face

She examined his eyes that seemed to beam

How could he be delighted when she just wanted to scream

She finally returned the hug

The cologne she smelled was a drug

Just like his love

She closed her eyes and wanted this hug to last

What a ridiculous thing to ask

He let go abruptly

And stared into her eyes intensely

Silence once again felt like a pain

The stillness of the moment was driving her insane

He had risen from his seat

The description of what she was feeling will never be complete

The past few moments were cruel

She felt like a fool

His love could be compared to a token

Disappointed, upset, and heartbroken;

She felt all of the above

She had fallen in love

And he had fallen out

All thanks to doubt

The two had parted ways

Even though she wished that she had asked him to stay.
