Opening
Do you remember when we use to hang
We met in the 5th grade
You were singing this ominous song
Drawn to you , I felt your presence
You're very powerful
The fluidity of your words
The movement of your body
Beautiful in your stance
My fellow classmates made fun of you
Your gaze never left mine
You opened me
Why didn’t we meet sooner?
I needed you
You could’ve helped me
Why aren’t you around anymore
I forgot about you
I can’t speak to you, I haven’t spoken since
I’ve given up on you
I was left open
I miss you
