What Happened To That Sweet Boy I Knew - Tumblr Posts

i think of that boy i was friends with in elementary school, we would play tag in the field, handball, tetherball. we’d go to the park after school and explore behind the acre of grass. we grew up together, i watched you get taller than me, the different haircuts and colors. i watched you join your first school sport, you watched me get braces, we watched movies together in science. then we kept growing, i was becoming a woman while you became a man. suddenly it was weird to go to the park together, the summer before high school started it wasn’t, we’d walk around and sit on the swings for hours. we stopped hanging out after school. we were still friends but your new friends weren’t very nice, you laughed when they were mean to me. i cried to you about what they said once, you told me i was being dramatic. i’m a woman and you’re a man. i can’t believe i didn’t see it before. i should’ve known who you’d become.
