I told him
‘You should wear blue more’
I thought he forgot
It’s not like he asked
But he showed me a post of him and his friends
He was wearing blue
And you wouldn’t believe the caption
‘Someone told me I should wear blue more’

I told him
‘You should let your hair grow out’
It was just a comment
It’s not like he asked
But he showed me a post of him with growth oil on his scalp
And you would not believe the caption
‘Someone told me I should let my hair grow out’

This time he asked
This time he texted
‘What does it mean if a girl says gn instead of Goodnight’
I said
‘It means she’s ******’
He didn’t get it that much
But still
Now
Instead of his usual gn
He texts Goodnight

You know
It hurts
Knowing we’re too young
But my soul is already too old
Though I know
If I were to die
With my words still tattooed on these hallowed walls
I’d like you to read my poems C
I’d like you to know
That
When I didn’t text back it wasn’t on purpose
When I say goodbye it’s not because I wanted to
Because you wore blue
And you grew out your hair
And you texted Goodnighttttt
With extra Ts of the end
I’ll miss you C
Though I shouldn’t
I never really had you to begin with
