Gone.
Just like that. One minute she's here. Right beside you
The next.
Gone.
You'll ask yourself.
"Why her?"
Then you'll say.
"I could've helped her. I could've said hey. Strike up a conversation."
Too late.
You'll think.
& think
& think
&think
About all of those small little things that couldve helped her in such a big big way.
You couldve said
"Hey, wanna be my partner?" In class
Or maybe,
"Hey, I really like your shirt!" In the hall
You couldve even said
" Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later?" After school.
But you couldnt see past her mask.
She hid so well behind that beautiful mask of hers.
She made people think of what a perfect life she had.
"I didn't know. I never knew."
& you'll try so hard to reassure yourself that it wasn't your fault.
You didn't do anything to her. You weren't one of those people who were mean, rude, harsh.
Or irrational with her.
But foolish child do realize.
It's not what you did. Oh no.
You see, it's what you didn't do.
And now that she is gone.
Buried deep where she can hide forever, there is nothing to feel but regret.
But honey, no worries.
Everyone will forget about her sad, lonely story in less than a week.
No need trying to remember.
She'll be forgotten in a matter of days.
Her story, forgotten as well.
And soon enough you'll be one of those people that forgets.
And then one day you'll think.
" Where exactly did she go?"
