Just once did I accept
Just once
Only once
And the whole time I didn't care
I acted the part
And tried to be smart
But the whole time I didn't even care
We sat in the shadows
Of the coldest of rooms
And we watched some stupid cartoons
And we laughed when we should
And I hardly understood
Why the whole time I didn't even care
School brought us about
And I tried to act smart
But twice
Maybe thrice
I brought him about
We still wrote and still spoke
But still, I didn't really care
I told a friend of him
And spoke of his smile
His laugh
His arms
But the act was in vain
Time and time again
Because still, I hardly even cared
We drifted apart
That boy and I did
And I can't say that I'm disappointed
Because the whole time we were
I realized it right there
That the whole time I didn't even care
Believe me, I tried
But between he and I
There just was no reason to care.
