“Okay, so I have this friend
And her boyfriend tells her
Many things
One of which
Include those three words:
I love you
But then he goes,
This boyfriend,
He kisses someone else
What should this friend do?”
I ask.

“That’s easy,” says the counselor.
Then she continues to say this:
Take this advice
Get some revenge
Give him a taste
Of that which he let go
Make it very clear
Let him know
That you,
I mean your friend,
Is something he will
Regret letting go

“Revenge?” I ask.

The counselor leans towards me
And continues to tell me this:
Yes, it is simple
Flatten his tires
Or cut all his brakes
Whatever you do
Make sure there is no proof
But a hot girlfriend
Who pretends to weep
And then says,
‘The last words he told me
They were,’
Make sure you,
I mean your friend,
Sniffles as she says all this
Then dramatically says,
‘I love you.’

“Thank you so much
Your advice has really helped me,
I mean,
My friend,”
I respond
With a glint
In my eyes.
