i asked,
and he said 'yes, but
just as a friend.'
so that clears the air for me.
i can move on now.
its like those novels.
the first chapter is always the longest,
filled with all those background information
that is so necessary,
yet it is not what makes the story.
it was necessary -
i needed to conjure someone to love.
but that didn't satisfy me.
so now that you've disappeared, Mr. Debonair,
(you were just a figment of my imagination, anyway.
a product of my romantic fantasies that i didn't want to let go of.)
i can move on with my life.
of course i still like ___.
probably more than many other people.
but we'll just keep it platonic.
life goes on
for the better.
