tell me something.

when she cried on your shoulder,

did you think about how hurt she was?

about the tears leaving stains on your shirt?

or was it just all about her proximity?


I'm merely curious.

when she called you at midnight,

did you think about how lonely she felt?

about how she couldn't sleep and she wanted to talk to you?

or was it just about what she was wearing?


it's only a question.

when she asked you for help,

stumbling in her drunken stupor,

did you think about the hangover she'd feel the next morning?

about how the videos of her flashing the entire football team would make her feel once she was sober?

or was it just about how easily she could say yes after a few swigs of vodka?


it's not the question you don't like.

it's your answer.

when she said you are my best friend,

did you think about how she didn't have anyone else?

about how she would feel when you moved on to your next conquest?

or was it just about how long it took to take down the virgin?
