adventures of a typical high school student

i've lost count of how many nights i've laid here
            without hearing from you, wondering when i would
now i don't wonder when, i just wonder if
            write it off as foolish young love-- not even love,

infatuation. first, i schemed to get your attention. of course you
            already know that failed, but at the time i couldn't
believe it. the next step in my plan was having an honest 
            conversation with you. i should've realized that's impossible.

you're anything but honest. i would give up completely,
            but that would end this game of wondering who's going
to give up first. i guess i can't let go of you just yet
             half of me still believes you care. the other half

remains asking why you don't.

I hope you enjoyed this piece! It’s definitely a lighter one than the last few I’ve posted. Please let me know if you have any feedback on this post or any writing challenges you’d like me to try out in the future. Stay safe and healthy.
