i smile when

you walk through the front door

and you make me laugh in ways

no one has before

i walk down this hallway

with your hand in mine

on our way to the perfect classroom

because it's the one with your name tied

attached to mine with the toughest of twine

and rumors may spread

but that's not why i worry

because deep down inside

my feelings are in a flurry

because i want to be loved

and i want you to love me

so don't let me go

as we pass bags hanging from shoulders

judging from the corners of their eyes

and make me laugh again

please

because right now i need it

in time

I wrote this about my anxiety around going back to school, but having select people who I know have my back.
