Unspoken conversations

Hey girlie, how are you? No, I won't say a word I want to. I won't say you're sloppy when you're drunk. I won't say a word about your fake nice smile or insincere compliments.

I'm glad to hear you're good. We're so proud of you, you know. You're almost there. And good riddance when you are. I'm counting down the days to your departure and the day I won't have to play pretend with you again.

Well, it was nice to see you. It wasn't.

Let me know if you need anything! Usually, I mean that, but not for you. Not anymore. Not since March and the window and the line you crossed and can't come back from.
