english class

you typed in lowercase letters and wore dark red lipstick.

your laugh was nervous and awkward and you stumbled over your words sometimes when you got excited.

you played me "this is gospel" on your school computer one monday afternoon.

you wrote poetry in crazy font styles and colors.

you were so petite i was afraid i'd feel too big, but i never did.

we talked about marvel movies and shakespeare plays and young adult novels.

we had second period english together in eighth grade.

we went on a date in may.

we listened to mash-ups of twenty one pilots and hamilton on monday afternoons.

we had first period english together in ninth grade, but you moved away.

i noticed your new round glasses and your new red lipstick.

i remembered that we were both hufflepuffs. 

i saw the eye you drew on your paper and told you it was amazing.

i noticed when you stopped sitting with your best friend in earth science.

i missed you when you moved away.
