He Knew

He knew he had lost her

when she quit returning his messages

when she quit striving to protect him

when she stopped sneaking smiles at him

when she stopped stealng glances at him in the halls

when hearing her laughter after a joke halted suddenly

but most importantly

when she stopped catching him when he fell

He knew that he had lost her.
