it had been two weeks since you spoke to me

you didn't look at me

didn't smile at me

i doubt you even thought about me

i thought about you a lot

i saw that you were with bad people

like Caroline

and Bryce

they were bad company

they smoked weed during study hall

i saw them once

their eyes were bloodshot

they threatened to kill me if i told

so i walked off

i hoped they didn't see my tears

i even saw you kissing her again

you two were wrapped up like enchiladas

i knew they wrapped enchiladas tightly

my aunt owned a mexican restaurant

i froze when i saw you two

i swear you saw me

and looked sad

but i guess you got too involved kissing

because you closed your eyes

i guess thats okay

i mean

i shouldn't care

it's not like i think about you constantly

think about your freckles and your soft hands

your blue eyes that are as deep as the atlantic

because i dont

not at all.
