We were just talking by the bleachers,
and I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t say anything.
Who says something at a time like that?
It wasn’t the same,
as our chats and texts,
he was on me. His eyes were right on me.
Foamy breath
and rough wrapped fingers,
bruised my left biscuit.
He felt really bad. Really.
He is such a good guy,
we held hands and prayed after.
