we always sat
next to each other because
our names started with
the same letter, f.  

sitting on the F line,
legs crossed,
sitting on the floor,
counting the minutes as they passed by
and talking about how life was going.

you talked about your friends,
how well you were fitting in,
how much fun you were having.

i like the way you always cheer me up,
even when i have a bad day,
you manage to put a smile to my face.

you had me fall ing for you,
day by day, minutes by minute,
i was falling way too quickly.

i guess that's why your last name is
Falls.
