Acquaintances With Memories
by Jac Layton-Brown Losing people, especially those who are close to you, is hard And I don’t mean death, but disconnection We were friends We were close We understood each other and We related to each other But now…. We don’t speak We don’t see each other We don’t hear each other’s voice We don’t laugh together We don’t exist to each other I don’t think the worst part is you leaving I knew you would leave I prepared for the time when you would leave Even when you told me that you wouldn’t leave No…. The worst part is that I trusted you The worst part is how I told you things I’ve never told anyone The worst part is how you told me things you never told anyone The worst part is when something happens and I think about how I wish I could tell you The worst part is that if I walked further down my street, I could possibly see your face again The worst part is that I’m the only one thinking these things I know that you’re not thinking of me And it’s foolish of me that I still think back to you But I could never hate you even after what you did to me Doesn’t matter now because we’ll forever be acquaintances with memories Jac is a sophomore at Franklin High School.
