She was the girl
Who got away
Causing the boy
Acute heartache
No notch
In the girl’s belt
As she was left
Bewildered
By her actions
She the girl
Who tiptoed away
Declaring that ubiquitous
Break up statement
I love you
Like a brother
He the
Sensitive teenager
Who recognized
He was
Dumped brusquely
He so young
She even younger
But discarded
Is discarded
Loved as a brother
Or not
Humiliated and uncertain
Of what crime
He had committed
As she chose
To go
Underground
Concealing herself
When she passed him
In hallways
And stairwells
In life
Neither erased
From their minds
The effects
From that
Early time
And yet
They lived
Happily ever after
Almost
