better

I watched you as your body heavily dripped. One second happy, and the next melted ice cream. I walked up to you and tried to convince you that boys are stupid, but you shrugged and turned away from me. I ran after you, trying to say something that would make you believe me. "You deserve better," I screamed. And you stopped. I watched as your tears, soft and clean, fell into the dewy grass beneath you. "You deserve better," I repeated in a whisper. At once her arms gripped my body in a hug, and all of her emotions set free into thin air.
