silently seeking

A Poem by Sarah Wilson

written for a creative writing class.

Do you remember the late nights, street lights?
I remember- forever days, sun rays.
Feeling scared, acting brave, disregarding all the rules.
Fleeting glances, heartbeat trances, impromptu dances.
Every minute was a cherished gift- it’s pitiful, isn’t it?
Rarely have I felt, never have I felt, finally have I felt.
Ever after, nevermore, what was found has now been lost.
New girl? New feelings, new changes, no reasons.
Crying out to understand, that’s all I want- to understand.
Exceptions made to all the rules, where is my friend?
Silence makes friendships drown, so hurry up- rescue us now.
