Written by Jacob Ibrag
‘Wait a second,’ she says as he pushes
her hand away. ‘Promise me that we’ll remain
friends, that we’ll go back to the way things were
before this ever got started.’ Looking past her wet
brown eyes and into the cloudless sky, he nods no
and walks over the bridge. ‘How can this exist,
when it’ll kill me to see you smile every
single time you’ll feel the warmth
of another vessel?’
So sad and telling

Very hard to be friends afterwards and I don’t know why girls expect this from guys always???

I think it’s both men and women that may expect friendship after the breakup. It’s hard to completely move on from a person when they become an integral part of your life. Sometimes people sacrifice identity and forget what they used to be before the relationship.

Hummn I agree a bit with you on that, and sometimes when the relationship ends it is always better to end it completely wiping all the traces and foot marks left behind. There is no point in excavating them as it is only ensues pain.

For the most part, I’ve wished to stay friends with my ex’s, I’ve tried with some but unfortunately it very rarely works as one always ends up having the feelings… I mean it’s very rarely a mutual breakup right? This poem made me sad, but it’s very good.

It is truly an unfortunate situation, emotion will forever be entangled with the ones we used to care for.

Absolutely, that’s why most of the time it’s best to let go and keep as a memory, as much as it may hurt.

It’s easier to go from being friends to lover, but, almost IMPOSSIBLE to transition backwards from lovers into friends, because, usually, something goes WRONG in the relationship, and, there’s that fall out to consider too…
