Jaimy

For my dearest friend, Jaimy. Written when I thought we'd never be together.

There is a boy,
who's so close to me.
standing at his locker
during breaks
switching books
behind the staircase.
five feet away,
I'm sitting on a table
watching him closely
knowing
he is far away
out of reach
I watch him walkaway
thinking of what could have been

Jaimy.
