"'Member Me, Sweetie?" (Poem)

I think they time out breakups-
Call it the night before, the morning after.
We were always flipped, ended so-
We had our morning before, our night after.
Because I hit him in the afternoon,
Bit the muscles in my cheeks and whispered into the phone.
The old boy hung up so quick.
I went home and scrubbed my mouth, my skin, my eyes.
I was only fourteen but did an excellent job of washing myself free of him.
Spent the weekend playing music and I was over it by Monday.
And he was the adult (20)
And he should’ve dropped the whole damn thing.

So why is he texting four years later?
