"I figured that."

“I figured that.”
By Tori 5-23-07

Standing in the same spot on the playground
Where you held me in your arms
I know I should be over you
But I also know that I haven’t moved on.
You held me in your strong arms
And finally I said, “I like this.”
So you held me tighter.
(I was safe in your arms.)
I told you, “I like you.”
You never really said that you liked me back
But you smiled and whispered,
“Yeah, I figured that.”

That night
I’ll never forget it.
It’s damned to my memory forever.
(Obviously; Unfortunately.)
Because I knew you liked me.
I knew you reputation
And yet, I still waited for you to make the fist move.
But you never did.

And,
“I figured that.”
