The Boy Who Never Truly Lived Part 13

The boy…
I feel as if I should give up thinking of him,
But the poet’s poem just makes me think more.
I wish the poet never went to see him,
I wish he never wrote about him.
My new goal in life to forget.
To forget about the boy,
About his cave and the girls,
About all of the time I spent there.
I’m going to stop going out to see the poet
And I’m going to restart my life.
Tomorrow,
I am going to go out in the sun again.

Wow Babbit, these last few have really been different, but I like how it changes perspective for a while. They're all really good. What happens next??? *whines*

I guess I'll end it with how I want things to turn out.... ^_^
