It Was Great Until... by nosajsong

It was just an ordinary friendship Until that extraordinary night we spent It was just an ordinary chat room With extraordinary stories that we exchanged We were weaving something beautiful Never thinking it would fall apart Trading secrets in the dark hours Never knowing it would break my heart But it happened way too fast, and now you're gone Left me standing in the aftermath alone No more late-night texts that used to fill my soul Just the quiet of a house that isn't home And it was great until I made the move Realized I crossed the line, but it’s too late Yeah, it was great until the time was up And I became the thing you learned to hate Hurting you on the long drive back home Now the silence is a heavy, bitter pill Yeah, everything was perfect, everything was fine... It was great until… You told me, "Let’s just be purely friends" But now you’ve gone and stopped replying If this is how a pure friendship looks Then we’re both just guilty of the lying Because friends don't disappear into the dark And friends don't leave you wishing for a sign I’m staring at the wreckage of us now Wishing I could turn back time Yeah, it happened way too fast, and now you're gone Left me standing in the aftermath alone No more late-night texts that used to fill my soul Just the familiar, lonely nights I've always known And it was great until I made the move Realized I crossed the line, but it’s too late Yeah, it was great until the time was up And I became the thing you learned to hate Hurting you on the long drive back home Now the silence is a heavy, bitter pill Yeah, everything was perfect, everything was fine... It was great until… I hate this cutting ties, I hate the ghosting I hate how easily you let me slide away Your name on my chat list is sinking lower Pushed down by people who have nothing new to say No more love to heal my heart Just the echo of a "goodbye" in the dark That's not how purely friends do... You don't just fade from view. Yeah, it was great. It was so great. Until…
