I put on my shoes, didn't mind my shaking hands.
Wearing a hoodie and my old scrunchy band,
That shameful stare was supposed to bound,
As I was walking out the door, but it didn't,
because she was not around.

I called Britney thrice in a row, she answered none.
I ignored the voice which told me what we have become.
So I text her to be there in ten.
I have lost counts on how many times
I have been there with my heartbroken.

A throwback from years ago hit my head.
When I found myself texting her 'code red'.
The three of us came up with it in 8th grade,
And promised that if texted upon we will be there at our cafe.

I wonder if it will work still, like it did then.
And if it didn't, I wonder if I will feel resentment.
