The acceptance
to a school so far
down south
hastened my heartbeat
yearning for adventure
new experiences
it's a head trip
I let it slip to you
with exclamation points
and a goofy grin
you cheered for me getting in
until we both made the
realization
that we will hardly
get to see each other
again

you've been locked
under my skin
swimming through my veins
entering my heart
every few pumps
I can only hope
the world brings us
back
together
