i am having a really hard time
not writing about you

you
the one who touched my soul
my heart
my body

you
the one who left

you
the one who i should have expected

you
the one who broke the freshman girl’s heart
back in high school

you
the one left a beautiful girl
to be with me

you
the one who told me about the beautiful girls
who had come and gone
before

you
the one who warned me about the inability to
open up

you
the one who i believed
would change
because i’m different than the others
right

you
the one who left me
confused
and with a smashed heart
to be with a beautiful girl
who would leave new constellations
on your neck
