at the beginning
about 10 months ago
we began as friends
and talking was an every day
(and all day long)
type of thing
i did not know that you just needed a friend
with your electronic kisses and hugs
i assumed differently
    
but you made me feel special
you made me feel like someone actually liked me
you could relate to me
you would listen to me
and tell me you would get me help
you would comfort me
and make me laugh and smile
    
and you told me
you promised me
you would never leave
and you kept that promise
but it is now
and now you are with her
and now you make her feel special
and now you make her laugh and smile
and you comfort her
and you relate to her and care about her
      
but for now
i am still in love with the boy
that stole my heart
with poetry and music and books
and electronic kisses and hugs
and compassion
and honesty
and kindness
      
and its okay
i’ll be over it all one day
but for now
i love you
