I forgot

I forgot that we actually
enjoy
talking to each other.
That I look forward
to seeing your name pop up.
That all the bullshit
was just temporary.

I forgot you
But you've come back
Into my life.
But it's a different you though.

You don't give me butterflies
You are a friend
That is it.
Nothing more
and I think
I like it better that way.
I know I do.

I give you more respect now
What you did was hard.
I now know it was
A good thing
That the absent face you had
It was the only way.

Yes. I was hurt
A couple people were.
But some things
Can't be done
without a little pain.
