Figure 1.--Some of the friendships formed in school are remembered for the rest of our lives.

"But You Didn't"

Remember the time
I stole your lollipop and ate it?
I thought you'd cry ...
but you didn't.

Remember the time
I dyed your favorite t-shirt
pink by accident?
I thought you'd kill me ...
but you didn't.

Remember the time
I spilt coffee on your assignment
that had taken you days?
I thought you'd hate me ...
but you didn't.

Remember the time
I told everyone lies about how
you had bits so they wouldn't like you?
I thought you'd forgive me ...
but you didn't.
