"you don't love her. you don't love her. you love me."

there was this girl.
she was pale.
she wore glasses.
she wore sweatpants and jeans to school proudly.
she laughed and smiled.
with him.
she laughed and smiled with him.
for him.
he was confused.

given m a r a.
m a r a.
he doesn't care about her.
he cares about j u l i a.
sincerely, m a r a.
