Day 2

Both of us aged thirteen.

He had his first joint alone in a flat with his brother

and told me all about it.

I asked out a beautiful girl and loved her very much

and told him all about it.

That year it started.

We tried to see each other on the weekends

but he was already out the door with a twenty in his fist

and I was in my room, my beautiful girl with me.

It was like that for two years.

He was high and

I was too.

Not until we were fifteen did he get caught,

"My **** was too dank"

and I opened up,

"Can we see each other tomorrow sweetie"

We played basketball that night,

like nothing ever happened.
