i first knew i was in love in science class, grade five.
our desks were next to each other and he gave me cookies at recess.
and then he forgot about me.

he was snatched away, like sand falling through my fingers.

i knew i wouldn't be able to live without him when i began to sneak around school just to watch him.

i'd steal little things, sauce sachets, straws from drinks when he wasn't looking.
he'd notice, i know he did, but he never said a thing.

and i continued to fall.

deeper and deeper into the abyss.
