I don't know if she knows but I doubt it.

6-word Memoirs

10. Don't drop the bomb on me.
9. One day I will impress you.
8. I can't stop thinking about you.
7. Use self control, not birth control.
6. You couldn't have loved me better.
5. I'm trying to salvage a friendship.
4. More than a game, it's life.
3. I'm still finding where I belong.
2. Too bad we became friends first.
1. Life will never be the same.

Grand Theft Poetry

Lost You

You are invulnerable, you have no Achilles' heel.
My soul is not satisfied
that it has lost you.
It was convinced you were Cupid's blessing.
It never should've doubted whether I should come back to you.
That's why I now seize the moment,
and try to freeze it,
and own it.
Because now I know,
what it is like without you.
