Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

I sat on the couch and dumped my bag on the floor. My phone buzzed and I picked it up. I had a text from an unknown number. It read 'Do I know you? ~Kalub~'. Kalub was my ex-boyfriend, I had texted him earlier that day asking him how he was. I texted him back 'No'.

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonly in your company

But that was love and it's ache I still remeber

Flashback

"Hey Frenchie!" said a male voice. I turned around and saw Kalub, with his brown hair and green eyes.

"Hey," I said. He sat next to me, and turned to his friends. Throught that whole lunch he never looked at me or talked to me. I felt neglected.

At sixth period I got a text from him, 'Wanna watch a movie tonight?'

I texted back 'Sure'. This was the moment I had been waiting for, just the two of us, watching a movie.

That night I got to his house and saw that his friends were there. I dealt with the feel of being neglected throught the night.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of love

Like resignation to the end, always the end

This has happend before. This has happend alot, and I always felt the same.

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we could still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

Later, but still flashback

"Are you alright?" asked Kalub, stroking my red hair.

"I don't feel like 'this'" i said motioning for us, "is working out,"

"I'm sorry, I'll do better,"

"You said that-"

"Frenchie, let's just be friends,"

"Okay". A single tear escaped my eye and I quickly wipped it away. I was relived, now I didn't have to feel neglected.

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make it like it never happend and that we were nothing

I dont even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

Here we are three years later. You no longer know me, you've forgotten what we once had, what we once were. I dont need you, but i want you.

No you didnt have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records  then change your number.

'How'd you get my number? ~Kalub~' asked Kalub.

'Sorry, I was just trying to text an old friend.'

'Okay, well whats your name? ~Kalub~'

'Franchescia'

Guess that I don't need that though

Now your just somebody that I used to know

Your forgotten about me. Now I need to forget about you.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

Part of me beliving it was always something that I'd done

Maybe I did something that made you ignore me.

But I dont wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go 

and I wouldn't get you hung up on somebody that you used to know

'I had a girlfriend named Franchescia ~Kalub~'

'Cool'

'She was being a butt ~Kalub~'

'Oh' that made my heart drop. 'Good to talk to you'

'You too ! ~Kalub~' Now your just somebody that i used to know. I'm over you, your a jerk who just wanted to be with friends and yourself.
