I saw his Facebook picture, met for chat,
And then the two of us said that was that :
Except the world can always change online.
(I knew that already from his Rosaline.)

Were always asking the two of us to choose.
And all we wanted was the sweet IM
To jolt us in our bed at 3 A.M.

The feeling that they’ll get you, one and all.

I had to kill myself, and for his sake.
Now people can make comments: “Like. Dislike.”
