This Lulluby by sarah Dessen
I saw her in the produce section late last Saturday
It hadn’t been but seven days since she went away
Once she’d love my filet mignon, my carnivore inklings
But now she was a vegan princess, living off beans
She’d given up the cheese and bacon, sworn off Burger King
And when I wouldn’t do the same she gave me back my ring
I stood there by the romaine lettuce, feeling my heart pine
Wishing that this meatless beauty still would be mine
She turned around to go to checkout, fifteen items or less
And I knew this was the last go-round, so this is what I said…
Don’t ever give me no rotten tomato,
‘Cause all I ever wanted was your sweet potato
Mashed, whipped, creamed, smothered, chucked, and diced,
Anyway you fix it baby sure tastes nice

“Because you can never go from going out to being friends, just like that. It’s a lie. It’s just something that people say they’ll do to take the permanence out of a breakup. And someone always takes it to mean more than it does, and then is hurt even more when, inevitably, said ‘friendly’ relationship is still a major step down from the previous relationship, and it’s like breaking up all over again. But messier.”
— Sarah Dessen (This Lullaby)
