Forgotten

Hi, this is Jessica
You say you don’t know me well
But you do, don’t you?
We used to talk every night
For an hour, before you left
And then it happened
One carnation sent, that’s all it took
And honestly, I thought 
You liked me back
But you didn’t, did you?
I talked to you the next day
But you didn’t want to talk
I couldn’t tell
Texting can’t show what you really think
I didn’t know you were with your family
That didn’t mean you had to shut me out
But you did, didn’t you?
That’s why today
I talk to you again
And say
“How have you been?”
But you won’t answer, will you?
Of course not
You won’t answer
Because you never have
