I Loved a Boy

by Emily Moore aged 9

I loved a boy, his name was Paul
You could say “Paul and Emily”,  it sounded perfect
He stood up to speak
And I thought it was about me
He said, “I love a girl, she stares at me.”
And I thought, Well it had to be me!!!
A few days later our drama teacher came into our class
And said, Paul, your speech was wonderful, you can put up that love in you.
My heart sank
Well I thought it was me
But now I can’t even think
But then Paul said
“It was about a girl and I love her”
Who was it?
Please let it be me
I couldn’t breath
Then it was out
“Rachel, you’re my girl”
My heart sank
I had a tearful moment
I remembered in year 1
We loved each other
But it’s too late now
Then
I was no longer alive
I had died…

I had died…
