I keep going over texts from that night,
In disbelief of the words,
The feelings that precipitated them.
If I had unknown expectations of you,
It certainly wasn’t those words.
I thought we were firmly settled,
In the security of our friendship,
Where my only expectation was a non-judgmental ear,
While I poured my heart out to you.
After that night;
When you said words I’d never expected to hear,
I’m forced to see you in a different way,
Entertain visions of “us”
Deal with feelings I thought were nonexistent.
Your words didn’t only pull away the carpet underneath me,
They threw me into a maelstrom of feelings.
