You know that supposedly unwritten rule
that says you don’t date your best friend’s ex ?
Well, in high school I was introduced to
my best friend’s girlfriend’s best friend.
(That’s a mouth full)

I often wonder
what you were doing before

I’m sitting here procrastinating something

I remember I had bought
candy bars for the other kids
