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;
