the boy in red.
you probably saw me first.
clad in red, i didn’t.
i was friendly, i played nice.
friendly, isn’t ‘i like you’.
nice, isn’t ‘i know you like me too’.
i thought you would just pass me by.
didn’t think touching your hand was part of the trick.
didn’t think hugging pulled me closer to the trap.
until i forced your show of cards.
saw ‘i love you’ scrawled on every one.
i saw the future first.
covered with hearts, you didn’t.
so i left early, avoided the sorry.
no goodbye, i didn’t want to see you cry.
to end this madness, i turned my head.
smiled at another, hugged her.
you probably cried first.
me clad in guilt, tried not to.
