• You sat down next to me
    My heart sang
    You smiled and I asked about your day
    Happily, you told me it was amazing
    I smiled

    Then she sat down
    You gasped and asked if it's ok to sit with her
    I said "It's fine."
    I tried to sound ok with it
    I forced a smile and you got up
    and moved without a second thought

    I swallowed hard
    That hurt
    Why?
    It's just a seat change
    That stung
    But why?
    Because you've done it before
    With another girl

    I sat alone that day
    I sat alone for many days
    And am still sitting alone
    Willing the tears to stay away
