Why be Friends?

After a relationship is over, it should be over. It's just simpler like that, no emotions are involved, just go. "I'll call you in a couple weeks" - why? Just leave me alone, don't bother to call me, delete me from your address book. I don't want to be friends, I don't want to share stories, I don't want to give you updates on what I've been up to, I don't want to hear about your present love interest, and I don't want to pretend like I'm interested in what you have to say. Let me let go of the garbage of the past and all the hurts that have brought me down in some way. Maybe I'm denying myself of certain feelings, but who needs to complicate life more than it already is. Just go, bye-bye. Maybe I'm getting too good at this.
