xoxo

In the corner of your notebook

I wrote grids for tic tac toe

And in the grids, we ticked boxes to fill it with xes and oes

You were adamant to win

Yet all I really wanted

Was another reason to be with the person

That I adore the most

To see you grin or get frustrated over a game that most kids know

And what was just pen strokes

Or scribbles on a page

Drew out a line to connect us

That could never be erased
