Mistakes

Westford Elementary School, 7

It was before a dance,
She made it a big deal.
We were all supposed to make plans,
I wish she could get real.

I want to forget it,
And for her to forgive me,
But I know that she wont,
I just want to be free.

I shouldn't have done it;
It was very wrong,
I lost a friend,
Without meaning to at all.

I try to talk to her,
But she doesn't talk back.
It seems like she hates me,
Let's just leave it at that.

I shouldn't have done it,
It was just a mistake.
I hope she can forgive me,
And we can be friends again someday.
