I cant pretend to just be your friend when my heart craves so much more.

I know I agreed to this.
I know its for the best.

But what I dont know is how to just be friends with you.
Not yet; not while Im still so in love with you.
And I know that someday I will be, but that day is not today.
I cant pretend to just be your friend when my heart craves so much more.
I have to give myself time.
Even if you say you still feel things for me, you dont love me like I love you.
Not like you used to.
And thats all it takes for this to be unfair.
I dont want to cut you out.
Not while I still fall asleep to the thought of you.
Not while I still close my eyes and see yours, the way you used to look at me.
Getting over you is going to be one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do.
I hope you never settle for less.
But above all that, I hope you find this same amount of love for yourself.
No one is more deserving of your love than you.
