Senior year

High school

A square walk of

Old wooden doors

That opened

And closed

Opinions and

Minds.

A lunchroom

With a round table of

Friends packed full of

Gossip and laughs.

Passed around

Talk of what we all

Would expect

When we made it

Through college

And life

But private thoughts

Of time passing

Of losing time

Disconnection of the

Moments spent together.

Senior year

Of college

A square block

Of dorms and classrooms

Long stairs and glazed stares

Lunches alone

With strange voices

Gossiping and

Consuming

The presence of

One another

College parties and people

Putting themselves out

Into the world in order

To find new connections

New classes, new people

Group meetings and

Facebook friends.

Adding in,

Scheduling around

Lost and found

Missed calls and texts

Never seem enough

To the old ones

We miss the most

Strong wishes

Of a closer reunion

Of old and new

Stronger feelings

Of hope

To not having to

Start over

again.
