Remember me?
It’s me.
That girl from high school
Who wouldn’t date you.
I work at a gas station now.

I grew out my hair,
Gained thirty pounds,
Never got to college,
And I got *****.

How do you like me now?
Are you still irresistibly attracted to me?
Dodged a bullet, huh?

I hope it helps
That angry fifteen-year-old
Inside of you
To see me like this.

I’m twenty now,
And I still live at home,
I don’t have a car,
And I’m only working part time.

I want you to know
I never thought I was anything special,
I simply wasn’t attracted to you.

I bet it doesn’t hurt you
So much anymore,
Seeing me like this
Makes high school seem further away...

Seeing you?
Just reminded me that I’m a failure.
Crazy where we end up after high school.
Everyone likes to say that the cheerleaders get fat,
And the dumb jocks work at McDonalds,
And the nerds take flight.
I was none of those.
Just an art nerd,
Who amounted to nothing.
