Broken

So what are you trying to get out of this? That was the question i asked the girl staring back at me. It seemed fair and simple enough, but that question was a destroyer of worlds. She stared back and didn't say anything, the pause said it all. I could tell by the look in her eyes she knew she was about to hurt me and even though she didn't want me she didn't want to do that. She started with the compliments, how much more painful. The old run ons of how great etc etc, but, theres always a "But." That "but" ruins everything that the left-handed compliment even said so theres almost no point in saying it. I started glossing my mind over during the compliments, not even paying attention, just getting ready to accept the ineveitable rejection that was coming. She eventually said that she was leaving and while she really liked me and liked dating didnt love me and wouldnt stay. As the numbness wears off you start to wonder if you miss the girl, the friend, or if its honestly just your pride that was really hurt. While time heals all wounds, rejection never becomes easy.
