please don't forget about me (high school graduation part 2)

Nov 21, 2011 19:54

“please don’t forget about me,”

the desperate plea threatens to leave my mouth

and i self-consciously clear my throat-

can you read my mind?

am i too obvious?

you turn, diploma in hand

and smile,

(you smile,that perfect smile),

and tilt your head in confusion.

(in that adorable way that only you can)

“did you say something?”

i shake my head vigorously

“n-no.”

and we part, and you give me a friendly smile

“keep in touch.”

it’s not sincere- we both know it.

I reply back;

“i will,

i'll miss you.”

it’s sincere- but only i know it.

and then you walk away

and then we part.
