Everything felt like it was happening in slow motion
Everything was blurry
She couldn’t see
She couldn’t think straight
Nothing made sense
She felt like she was losing her mind
She was so angry
She was in so much pain
The tears stained her eyes
And stung
She spent the whole flight crying
Probably making everyone
Around her uncomfortable
But she didn’t care
How crazy she looked like to other people right now
Her world was crashing around her
Nothing made sense
She was on a plane
Because she needed answers
That he wasn’t giving her
And she wanted him to look her in the eyes
And tell her all of this wasn’t true
All the stories she was hearing
But she knew the truth
She just hope he respected
Her enough to tell it
When her plane landed
She got into her Uber
Tears stained her eyes
So much it burned
She texted him
That she was in his state
And she was on her way
She knew this all sounded crazy
Like everything
From the moment she bought that round trip ticket to Atlanta
To showing up unannounced
At his job
But she didn’t care how she looked
She wanted the truth
And when she pulled up to his job
Tear stained
And asked him if any of these rumors were true
He looked her in her eyes
And lied yet again
She knew in that moment she would never get the truth
He never even apologized to her
for all the pain he caused her …..
As the years went on
She silently mourned their friendship alone
because nobody understood
or cared what she had loss
