i was going to say hi to you today.  
but i saw you with a prettier girl.

i decided to look down at my phone,
pretending that i didn't see you there.

at lunch, i saw you sitting with her,
laughing and teasing her, as she laughed
along to your jokes.

i sat down at the other end of the table,
acting as if i didn't see anything and
asked my other friends how their day
was going, they smiled and told me it
was going pretty nicely.  

they asked me how my was going.  
i smiled sadly and told them it was
going great.  
           great.

i saw you talking to her at the end
of school.  i heard from one of my
friends that she sits next to you on
the bus.  

i ignore you and your friend and
make my way out of school and
plug my earphones in, turning up
the music to full volume.  

can you fix the broken?
*can you feel my heart?
