Friend

A friend is what you become when you split yourself in two in response to the famous words “But we can still be friends.” One part of you remains the lover, the secret part with the broken heart. The other part becomes the friend, the visible part, which will accept any conditions in the (probably vain) hope that the departing soulmate might change their mind.

“I do not love you any more, but we can still be friends.”
“I’ll take what I can get, Friend.”
