Open your arms.
Smile.
Close your eyes.
Breathe normally.
Stand still.
Clear your head of all thoughts.
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
I move forward.
I smile.
I watch you.
My breathing is normal.
I open my arms.
Thoughts in my head disappear.
Worries are gone.
I hug you.
I say, "I'll be here for you."
You tell me to go away and leave you alone.
Our friendship is over.
