Literature Text

A boy and a girl
He’s known her for years.
She’s known him for just as long
They walk home every day together

A boy and a girl
He lives down one road
She lives down another
They reach the fork that separates them

A boy and a girl
He gives her a hug goodnight
She hugs him back
They embrace as the sun sets between them

A boy and a girl
He wants to tell her the truth
She already has a “friend”
They tend to make the hugs last

A boy and a girl
He tries to keep the hug going
She gets a text from her “friend”
They abandon their moment at the fork

A boy and a girl
She heads for home
He watches her go
They say goodbye one more time.

A boy and his thoughts
He can’t see her on the road
A tear creeps down his face
Forever Zoned
My submission for :iconbeat-the-block:'s Weekly Prompt
This week's prompt is to Raise your Words
With this I Raise my Words for Love

Love, so simple and yet such a pain
Sometimes as natural as the changing of the seasons, and sometimes not
The kind of love shown here is one I've felt many times
But then again if love was easy, we'd all be happy

As always, comments and faves are much appreciated!
Hope you enjoy!
-May your inner child never die-

I can really feel his sadness. I like the way you set up the poem. Good wordsmanship! 

That may or may not be a word.
