Loving Friend

You say you're here, but you're not.
You say you're here, but you haven't got
That mental pull, that emotional string
The one that has pulled me under your wing.
You may be smiling, but I know you'd rather be
With someone much different than me.
Your physical warmth is comforting when sent,
But when I think about it, I know you never said what you meant.
You meant to say: "Oh, loving friend...
You knew this would come to an end.
I'm ready to move on, so you should be, too."
"But I'm not, I'm not!" I'd scream back at you.
