This Space Between Us

written by: artsydoll

He's trying to break my heart.

I claim to have no interest in him anymore, but when I

watched him from my classroom door, my heart literally fell through the

carpeted floor.

He had his arm linked with another girl.

-"I don't love him anymore."-

I'm really not sure how I feel. I'm just confused.I think.

Everything is going wrong!

Sometimes, I get really excited and think, I'll talk to him

today when I see him after class.

And when I see him from across the hall, I clam up and run away,

as he says, "like a bat out of hell."

I'm ruining this relationship, just like I did with my very first

boyfriend. I know it. Sometimes I don't care. Sometimes I just sit there and

sulk and feel sorry for myself.

And sometimes I feel sorry for him too.

-"Suck it up, girl! Suck it up and pretend you hate his guts!

Remember what he did to you?"-

I remember it well. But it seems so insignificant now and I feel

stupid for being mad about it.

-"Did I go overboard?"-

-"I can't tell you what to do. Do what you think is right."-

But I don't know what's right! I don't know, I don't know!

I wish he'd say something to me.

-"But this is what you wanted, right? You wanted him out of your

way because you fell for someone else, right?!"-

NO! That someone already has a girlfriend! I didn't want him to go

away! I just wanted him to give me some

SPACE!

Author Notes: Well, I don't know how you felt about that, but I hope

you liked it. It's my first upload. ^^ Please, no flames. I could say what inspired

this piece, but it's a really long story. Trust me. Hehe.
