The Boy Who Never Truly Loved Part 19

pineapple_babbit's picture

Shadow Girl has left a few days ago
She’s going on an adventure in the woods
She’ll be gone for a long time
And I am going to miss her
I went over to the boy’s cave after I heard that
To see what his views on the subject were
He’s leaving too
But for a different place
He’s going with another guy
An actor
They are going on an adventure to the mountains
They are going to climb to the top
And stay there
Almost as long as Shadow Girl will be gone
That’s annoying
Two of my good friends will be going
At least my poet friend will be around
And so will the musician
He’s asked me to go out into the sun with him
And I said yes
Oh how I love the musician so
He’s about my age
Well
A little bit older
But only two weeks older
He comes over so much and we go out
Sometimes we just sit and talk
Other times we watch birds
Other times we walk and
Sometimes we even do stupid things
Stupid things are fun to do
They make me laugh
They make him laugh
I love to see him laugh
He just makes me so happy
I’m glad I have him
While my friends are off
