April 9th

There was a time

When I hung off of your every word

I endured a snowball

Despite not loving coconut

For the kindest of words from you

When you let me sit next to you I gained appreciation for the music you liked

I wanted to make you like me

I thought that you did

When you asked me to prom

I was excited.

I picked the sort of dress I thought you might like

I did my hair the best I could

I wore make up

I realized it was a game to you when you had your friend call instead of you

To say I'd be going alone.

I have never abided cowardice.

Your chance was squandered.
