The Exchange

There was this girl
and a boy
and the boy
bought her
a necklace
with a key on it
and when he gave it to her
the boy said,
"I hope you like it."
Because that was
all that he hoped she would do.

She asked him
what the key opened
and he didn't know
so he went out
and the the boy bought her
a small
purple box
with a bright
red glow
from the inside
and when he gave it to her
the boy said,
"I hope you love it."
Because that was
all that he wanted her to do.

So the girl
went home to get
the key
but then she realized
she had lost it.
So the girl
looked around a bit
until she gave up
and decided
it wasn't worth it.
So she told the boy
and when he heard it from her
the boy said,
"I hope you find it."
Because that was
all that he needed her to do.

So the next day
since the girl lost the key
the boy went out
and he bought her
a hammer
and she tried
to break the box open
but she accidentally
broke the heart
he’d kept inside.

And when he gave her
the broken pieces
the boy said,
"I hope you miss it."
Because that was
all that was left for her to do.
