« "Can we still be friends?"

Can anyone ever truly be friends again after a breakup?

You give the person your everything. In turn, they learn everything about you, every insignificant fact. But suddenly they disappear. They aren't yours anymore and you are somehow supposed to talk to them. There will be awkward pauses where the "I love you" used to go and the colourful conversations will become dull and painful. And even if years pass, you still won't talk normally because talking to them at all will remind you why you fell in love with them in the first place. »
