we started the way we ended
you were still dating someone
when you slept with me


I don’t know if anyone knew that
or would believe me
but I remember the afternoon before your birthday
and that white dress you still wear

I slept with another young, redheaded girl
I didn’t have a reason why
but I remember breaking up with you
the next evening
watching you cry,
I was ashamed, and ******


don’t act so adult, you might miss out
on being a fool like me
the yellow sign had crime written on it
and I let it go, trying to its memories
