unexpected..

September 15, 2026

Once again, I'll soon say the unexpected happened once again. Once again, I'll wish I could never be despised I'll be glowing in the dark what a pleasant surprise! The most unexpected has happened like small glances in the halls to the point where you can't even look at me at all. Crazy how time changes people one day you'll be laughing and talking to me next, repeating what you once said so clearly to some other girl getting in the way of the nice things you used to say. You changed not once but more than twice, and this is the time I'll mean it when I say goodbye.
