i was not looking when i first found you,

rather our meeting was sudden, unplanned.

from the moment we talked, i quickly knew

that you would be the one to understand.


i gave you some skittles for your birthday

we ate them together in the band room.

afterwards, you said you wanted me to stay

 i did, knowing my family would fume


late facetime calls, eyes slowly close

we find comfort in each others silence. 

your presence relaxing, i start to doze

quickly ends as mom approaches, that tyrant.


now i must leave you with a heavy heart,

hope you think of me when we're apart.

I wrote this about my friend, who shortly after writing this became more than my friend.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
