Abraham's Test by M.D.


  1. He caught my eye because,

  1. He was lonely, without anybody nearby

  2. He was quiet, unlike the rest

  3. He looked as though we could have common interests

  4. He was going to change my life

  1. I became his friend,

  1. Because he seemed nice

  2. He seemed to always be honest

  3. He was always there to help me through hard times

  4. He needed me, a lot

  1. I fell for him,

  1. He seemed nice enough

  2. I wanted to be more than friends

  3. I wanted him to fall as well

  4. I waited for a year to tell him

  1. He turned me down,

  1. Because he liked my best friend

  2. And he “didn’t want to hurt me”

  3. He fell for other people as well

  4. But never for me

  1. I settled as being friends,

  1. I wanted to be around him always

  2. I figured I needed his support and he needed mine

  3. I hoped that he could change his mind

  4. We were friends for a long time

  1. He lied and left me in the dust,

  1. I don’t know why he did it

  2. I woke up and he was gone

  3. I was devastated

  4. Until I realized he needed me more than I’d ever needed him
