September 2/23 8:37 PM



I’m not good looking enough for her
no wonder she looks at him like that
I wish she was as happy to hear from me as I always am to hear from her
I wonder what would happen if I looked like him
maybe then I would be good enough
maybe if I was as good looking as him
she would want me like she wants him
