| On the phone anytime we could | E |
| Staying up far later than we should | E |
| Me getting flustered over the tiniest stupidest things | F |
| Smiling when you called me pretty | G |

| Like none of it had ever happened | J |
| Like we were nothing more than friends | K |

| You don t think I ever could have loved you | U |

| Cat and mouse | Y |
| Hide and Seek | Z |
| This dance deception | A2 |

Poet's note: I wrote this for what many would call a "situationship" of mine. I wanted to express a deep feeling of frustration that after all this time he thinks that I don't want anything to do with him. This poem means that I am allowed to be angry and upset even if someone is under the impression they did me no wrong, I just have to be more clear of how I feel.
