I broke up with you and I pretend I’m fine. I pretend it’s what I wanted all along. I pretend it doesn’t hurt that you won’t talk to me anymore. I don’t know why but I expected you to be over it after 5 days. I was even thinking of bringing up the possibility that we could stay friends, because I do still care for you. I do. And I miss talking to you. I thought you’d be over it after 5 days, so I texted you. You did not text back. I don’t blame you. The text was a bad idea, asking a stupid question. “How are you?” In truth, I expected you to tell me you’re fine, that you’re getting better. You did not. You stayed silent. My friends said it’s too early to expect a response. I wonder why. I cannot fathom why it’s so hard to get over it. I'm not worth it.
