Sometimes I stare
Listlessly, for hours
Out at the sparkling sky
Thinking of you
When we stopped talking
My heart could stop beating
If only I'd have been smarter
I wouldn't have lost you
We never got to see each other
Because we lived far away
So that set up an opportunity
For lies to get in the way
Unknown to me,
A once friend of mine
Started talking to you
As somebody he wasn't
Imagination was one thing
That we had in common
Without knowing, I used the character
He created from his little game
We spent hours creating
Painting worlds and games
That were used to get away from reality
But that soon took a harsh turn
Your heart fell for him
And you confessed
But his game had gone too far
Time to tell you the truth
As I said the truth
I can't explain
The swirling emotions
That threatened to sweep me away
I can only imagine what you felt
And so, from that day on
We haven't exchanged
Another word, memory or thought
Even though time has passed
I find myself thinking of you
Hoping that one day, it'll turn around
And you'll grant me another chance
Author notes
Long story short, my 'friend' made somebody up who wasn't real, and somehow I played into that character. I felt myself like her more and more, but then she, (Tobari) fell for the character. I found out what was going on, and I had to tell her the truth. SOme people might disagree, but that was the right and kindest thing to do. It went badly and we haven't talked since. It tears at my heart, but I can't do anything about it since she never goes onto msn and such.

This is so sad but beautifully written. I love the descriptions that you've used. I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I hope someday you get a chance to talk to her and make things right.

As I said the truth
I can't explain
The swirling emotions
That threatened to sweep me away
I love that part
& I read your AN and I'm very sorry for what happened,
I really hope things work out
