Four boys cycling along the road

Presumably to school

Just like us

Back in 1983

All trundling side by side

Geniune smiles sitting on their faces

Just like us

Back in 1983

Lets hope they don’t end up like us

Lets hope they stay like we used to be

Just like us

Back in 1983

We don’t speak to each other everyday

Like when we were kids

And everything was so much simplier

“You don’t think about anything Brian”

“Oh yeah, but that’s why...

I knew from the moment I met you that I loved every part of you. All of you. Even if you didn’t even know my name.

Every time you turned around to talk to me my heart would flutter. Then you got moved into the empty space next to me for talking too much. You filled the empty seat just like you filled my heart.

Remember when you got mine and my friends names mixed up. Remember the time I had to ...

“Oh, well would you look at this, my old phone”

TW - contains some swearing

“I’m pregnant” I mutter, the test in my now shaking hands “shit I’m pregnant”

I’m in the bathroom of a convenience store. The stall is cramped for space. My tote bag is in the corner on the floor, discarded. This is the second test, the last one the line came out less, on this one it was much stronger.
