Did you notice me today?
Probably not, even though I know we made eye contact
I smiled like I have in the past
But you looked the other way
Deliberately
I know because you looked back
Making sure I wasn't still smiling
And I was
So you turned away again
You used to be my best friend
You and the others
Now you've all cut us off
"Talk more," you say
But where's your effort?
I'm left remembering times that are slowly fading
And you're turning your head away
I suppose my clothes must be off-putting
Nothing like a fully clothed punk to lose a boy's attention
You were my best friend and now you have no interest in passing glances
It's not like I ever did anything to you
But you felt the need to mock me when I was most vulnerable
And when I stood up for myself
You disowned me
You were the one who brought on the name calling anyway
Even though my hairy arms meant nothing to you for four years before then
I'm willing to give you a chance to be my friend again
And all you want to do is turn your head away
Don't always expect my smile.
