The Boy With Black Hair

The boy with black hair

Is staring at me,

He's talking about collage- pleased he got a C

He's changed so much,

although I won't say,

because this time last year, he would be ashamed of an A.

 

I say goodbye

As he watches my mums car go

Remembering him laughing at my mums red Clio.

 

Months later

I walked up the road,

He walked down as his blue eyes glowed,

 

He says hi and waves,

I smile and say hi,

I don't make the mistake of remembering goodbye,

 

The boy with the black hair

stares as I walk away,

Because the boy with the black hair realises what he lost that day.
