high school love

You said you were in love.

But you never said hi to my dog whenever you came over.

You shook my dads hand but never asked about my relationship with my dad.

You stopped holding the door for me after 3 weeks.

You only ever complimented my appearance.

You knew how much that song meant to me, and you switched it as I put it on.

Your best friend had to give me a pep talk when I was upset, not you.

One week in you told me you had never felt this way about anyone before.

And I believed you.

God I did not want to be just another statistic of high school relationships that don’t work out.

Dreamed of being in that 10% that made it out.
