and that was it

i don't believe there's such a thing as 'still being friends' with an ex-lover. once you get past a certain point in your relationship, you really cannot be considered 'friends' any longer.

how can you go back to being friends if you weren't friends to begin with?

i think people want to be friends in order to assuage their guilt, alleviate the pain of separation, a sort of half-life between lovers and nothing.

in the end all it does is to drag this rotting shit on and on, and you can smell the stench every single time you meet this 'friend' of yours.
