i used to know a boy

and i liked him a lot

he was pretty and tall and had a nicotine addiction

and dated half of my friends

but i liked him a lot.

he was closest to someone

who hurt me

a lot

someone who hurt me without remorse

and made me sick and ache

for a whole other year of my life,

years to come and even now.

but i liked him a lot.

even if that person was like a sister to him.

he was so charismatic and

everybody liked him

especially me.

because he was the kind of perfect that didn't invoke jealousy but want.

because i liked him a lot.

but he's gone now.
