I love you, I said.
Oh, she said.
Oh, I said.
Oh, she said,
Again.
I said oh again, too.

I have ruined our friendship, I said.
No you haven’t, she said.

Oh? I said
Do you love me? I said.

I have to go, she said.
Oh, I said.
I took that as a no, I said.
Oh, she said.
I just don’t…, she said.
Are you going to go? I said.
She didn’t say
And then turned and walked away.
