His baby
I met him in the school parking lot
 I thought his eyes were dreamy
 He made me laugh more than I had in years
 
 We hung out every day after school
 Usually in a small café
 And talked about things that didn't mean anything
 
 Finally one day he told me he loved me
 And I said it back
 Then he touched my hand with a strange look in his eyes
 
 I said no but he kept trying
 Every day he kept asking
 Saying all these magical things that I loved to hear
 
 And finally I said yes
 I had had never seen him look so happy
 And I was happy too
 
 Afterward I felt so strange
 I didn't like what I was seeing
 Everything was so messed up
 
 The sheets were matted
 The pillows flat
 The lights completely off
 
 And when I didn't feel so good
 When I needed him the most
 He had gone
 
 I didn't see him for awhile
 I thought maybe he was sick
 So I called his house everyday
 
 Then during break I saw him there
 He was with another
 And had his arm around her waist
 
 I had never felt pain like this
 To know that he moved on
 And left me in the dust to feel alone and unwanted
 
 I felt strange again that following week
 And wasn't sure what to do
 So I went to the store just to check
 
 It came back positive
 I wanted to cry
 I wanted to scream
 But none of that would get me anywhere
 
 I told him the next day
 And you know what he said?
 "It's not mine."
 
 So now I live with his baby
 That he never met
 And I can't help but keep thinking
 Did he even care?
