As the semester draws to a close
Nails off chalkboard
I think to myself
just wow
and wrap my arms around
myself
because inside
I'm stuffed with love and light
and thankfulness and
there was grass under my hands
a breeze tousling my hair
everybody fit
and I stared around the circle and
we knew that this was it
And later on, inside
still warm from the cool of the night
She came in rolling
laughing
giggling
pulling
me
down, hair mingling
and I knew what it was to have
a Friend
and what it was to be
a Friend
And I thought
yes
yes
yes
that this was it
