This morning, I put my belt on upside down,
I put my socks on the wrong feet,
and don’t ask me how I did it
because I don’t know either.
I listened to music while I got ready,
had the same song on repeat so I wouldn’t forget it,
because it reminded me of you,
and I never wanted to forget you.
I drove to school in silence,
like I usually do.
Passed kids in the hallways who hated to be there,
almost as much as I did.
Because they have to walk on edge.
Spaced out during math,
taking notes on doodles and dreams,
By the end of the day things felt fuzzy.
So tired nothing poured out but giggles.
And everything made us laugh.
Used to make us laugh.
Made me laugh.

By the end of the day things felt fuzzy.
So tired nothing poured out but giggles.
And everything made us laugh.
Used to make us laugh.
Made me laugh.
Now I don't laugh as much.
