There you are. Standing with your friends. They're all laughing at something you said. You crack a smile. And it's so contagious. I can't help it but smile too. You look in my direction but you don't notice me. You never have. You never will. You know why? Because you have her. She has her claws in you so deep that you've become numb. You've become so oblivious to everything around you, to everyone around you. She's made sure of it. She's made sure you don't look at any other girl around you. You want out. You want out so bad. But you can't. You can't leave her. Do you know what will happen if you leave her? You do. I know you do. Everyone knows. She'll ruin you. But she won't. She won't ever ruin you because you can't leave. You look at me. Here she comes. Walking right towards you. She grabs you, pulls you in for a hug. You release her and put your arm around her waist. Your friends have stopped laughing and they start to leave. They say they have to get to class, they don't want to be late. It is true, if they wait there with you they will be late. The bell is going to ring in exactly one minute. But you know that's not why they left. They left because of her. You think they don't like her, which is true. But what you don't know is, you change when you're around her. She changes you. You're worse when you're with her. I hate it when you're with her. The world hates it when you're with her. Why can't you see that she changes you. You're such a good person. I wish you could see that. The bell just rang. You're late. She's late. I'm late. We are the only three in the hall. You look at me. Oh my god, you're looking at me. And I'm staring right back. You smile at me. She glances at you, then glares in my direction, at me. Those eyes piercing through my skin. Oh no. She's walking. Towards me. What did you do. She stops an inch away from my face and starts yelling at me. Calling me horrible names, but I ignore her. I'm still staring at you. And you're staring back at me with an apologetic look. You come up to us and pull her away. You say sorry. You spoke to me. I smiled. Not a single word came out of my mouth. You walked away. And that was the last time I saw you. The last day anyone saw you. Your last day on earth. She's in prison. For life. I miss you. I love you. You should've smiled sooner. I could've been the one you were with. Not her. It wouldn't have ended like this if it was us. It wouldn't have ended at all.
