We sat and sat and cried
She cried, I didn’t
Boys don’t cry
Big girls don’t cry, but 
She’s not big
I don’t think
And all I said was
Can we please change the subject?
But we didn’t
The subject was changing subjects and I was tired of it
Try getting out of that one
She was crying and I was saying don’t crying
a million other me’s looked at us 
Like was the jerk
Bozos.
What do you wanna talk about she asked me
I said boh
I said a movie?
I said a book?
She cried
Being someone who doesn’t talk about movies or books
She cried
Being someone that doesn’t talk about movies or books
I wanted to
She cried and said she was afraid she’d lose me someday
To a woman more adapted to me
A woman?
She’s implying I’m a man and not a boy
‘s, we don’t don’t cry
She says she’s worried I’ll fall in love with a more well-adapted woman
Someone like Annamaria, she says
Or like Alessia or Alessandra or someone
And I said, don’t crying
And I was so happy I gave her a kiss on the face
At least, I’m not the only one that thinks Annamari’
And me, we would be perfect together
And I tried to changing the subject
