weeks passed and i'd seen Bonnie less and less
and when i returned back to school,
she was even more beautiful.

and, believe me, i tried harder.
at first i thought maybe she needed to see that i liked her
maybe i was giving up too easily.

so i bought her things
and i held her hand
and i ignored the way she just left for other guys.

but...
that was hard to do that when she was lip-locking with Carson Collins

in front of my locker.
