We Were Friends

 



Three days ago 
He asked me to chastise a mutual friend who was annoying him. 
I refused. 

Two days ago  
I decided i could no longer listen to his long detailed monologues. 
So I interrupted him.  Twice. 

Yesterday 
 When he recited  his long list of rules for how his friends must behave, I said,
“Don’t be a fascist.” 

He decided he doesn’t like me. 
I remembered that I don’t like him. 

I am alone. 
Happy ending.
