You talk.
You plead.
You win her over.

She smiles.
She says,
“Take my heart.”

You think.
You say,
“Take it back.”

She cries.
She sighs.
She doesn’t forget.

You laugh.
You walk
too far from her.

She hopes.
She stops.
She moves on.

You turn
around.
You come back.

She waits.
She says,
“I don’t want you.”

You don’t
give up.
You say,
“I love you.”

She hopes,
again.
You leave,
again.

She doesn’t forget.
