it was late april
when we spoke again.
—
you reached out to me after
a long absence from school
i didn’t think i’d ever speak to you
after all those months had past
but you came to me, ready
with an open hand
reaching for mine, ready
for what will happen next.
whether it was going to be
good or bad, you didn’t know
but you wanted to try to figure that out
with unexpectedly, me.
you had something for me all along
and my eyes didn’t look
close enough to see that
and my mouth wouldn’t know
how to express my feelings
in many words that
i had too, for you.
but they finally did at first
in little text messages
we had both exchanged
then in facetime calls
and then finally, to one another
in person at last.
