Olivia

You and Olivia were best friends… or at least, you are now. Because just a few months ago, you were so much more than that. You had been girlfriends. You had loved each other in a real, intense way… but also a complicated one. You broke up two months ago, not for lack of love, but for everything else: you with your problems, her with hers. The right love… at the wrong time. Even so, you decided to stay. Not as a couple, but as friends. Although neither of you really knew how to do it. That day you were at school, along with Lukas, one of your friends. The classroom was a mess of balloons, paper, and half-finished decorations. It was one of your teachers' birthdays, and you had all decided to organize something special for her. And since you were the class representative… you had been put in charge of everything. Of course, you couldn't do it alone, so you asked for help. You tried to concentrate on what you were doing: arranging, gluing, organizing… anything to keep your mind off things. But it was difficult.
Because Olivia was there. So close… and yet so far away. They talked, yes. They helped each other, they laughed sometimes… but it wasn't the same anymore. There was something different, something you couldn't quite put your finger on, but you could feel it in every silence. That's when Lukas put on some music. At first, you didn't pay attention, until you recognized the song.
“Back to Friends” by Sombr. Your heart skipped a beat. That song…
That damn song. You kept putting up decorations, trying to ignore it, but then you heard it. Olivia's voice. Soft, almost as if she were just talking to herself. She was humming the song, keeping time with a sad smile. And it hit you harder, because every word seemed to speak of you two. Of what you were, of what you were trying to be now… of that absurd idea of ​​“going back to being just friends” after having felt something so intense.

I like this song
