In the desolate garden, a withered oak stands,

Branches entangled, like a heart's shattered plans.

“charlie, I’m sorry” I say, my heart thump in rapidly against my chest.

“sorry for what?” he ask, his voice laced in sincerity.

“i’ve… i’ve fallen in love.”

“FINALLY, only took 16 years.” his laugh booms through the street causing people passing by to stop and turn. “who is it? let me guess. jamie the football captain. wait no I bet it’s oscar the gee-”
