Why did you say yes?

You could have said no.

You knew- and you know- how I feel about it.

You say you never wanted to hurt me. But you didn't hesitate. You said yes, and then worried for days about how I'd feel.

What am I supposed to say? You matter to me. Our friendship is one of the best I've known. So I'll gather up the pieces and box them away. You'll never know how hurt and disappointed I am. I'll get the point where I can look you in the eye again and act as if nothing happened. To be able to laugh and joke and share again. Somehow.

It's going to take a while to get put back together.
