HER - 14:35 pm - 19/9/16

She looks at me

Smiling

I return it

We bump arms

My heart skips

Hers does not

I’m her friend

She is mine too

But not

She cares

I care more

Differently

She hugs me

Excited

I return it

I ask why

She smiles even more

BEAUTIFUL

She tells me

My heart drops

A boy

That’s why she hugged me

Because of HIM

HIM

HIM

HIM

Not me

No, not me

HIM

I fake my smile

Pain in my head

I wait for her to leave

GONE
GONE
GONE

TEARS
TEARS
TEARS

I breathe and keep going

KEEP GOING
KEEP GOING
KEEP GOI---

No more

She is my friend

Nothing more

Nothing will ever happen

 

I walk up to her excited

Not really

I hug her

Sad

The boy

He asked me out

But he wasn’t her

Not even close

She is so happy for me

I’m not
