Life is a day

Life is a hello without warning.

a stranger who you see everyday

they are nothing to you, but a face

a person, but not your person. 

Life is a shared interest.

something small that draws you together

and you never expected yourself to be

as alike as this stranger. 

Life is laugh after laugh.

doing that same silly nod at the same silly time

being piggy-backed around the classroom

with this new friend. 

Life is learning you don’t know people.

and you found out your friend is complex

with many hopes and many struggles

so you wish to help them in what comes next.

Life is that little fight you had.

you never meant for it to happen

but somehow the words slipped out

close souls are bound to clash. 

Life is walking beside each other. 

everywhere you go they are there too

and they fill your head up with new ideas

they fill the empty space that used to exist. 

Life is like a year that goes by in a day.

and people cannot stay in one spot

or they will die

so I must say goodbye to this hand I hold 

until we meet again. 

promise we will meet again

because i’m terrified that

this is the End;
