Forget

Now I believe it—this cannot last.

You just kept talking to your friends like I was not even there.

You seemed to get annoyed by me whenever I spoke.

You do not wave when I wave to you.

You laugh at dumb jokes and laugh loud and irritatingly.

It is like nothing ever happened between us

Like we did not say all those things to each other

Like you did not walk me home

Like you did not kiss me

Like you did not belong to me.

We talk to each other as if we just met each other, like at the start of the school year.

We glance at each other but with blank expressions,

Nothing meaningful,

Caring,

Desirable.

Are you ashamed of me?

Too frightened to talk to me in front of everyone?

What happened?

But now...?

You always made me feel all bubbly and fuzzy inside,

But now it is like you forgot everything.

...But it is not like this was the first time.

I hate how I do not hate you for doing this to me,

But I cannot, not after what we have been through.
