The Girl With the Hand-me-down Bag

I once knew a girl

Who carried a brown, hand-me-down satchel

At her side wherever she went

And never said hello,

Never said goodbye.

She always said "how goes it"

And "Until we meet again."

She wore the same thing every day.

Black leggings,

Always paired with the same rainbow headband

And light blue jean jacket

Walking along stone pathways

That lead to her classes,

Humming a tune

Of some song no one knew.

But when we reached sophomore year

She wasn't on the paths anymore.

She wasn't in my classes.

She didn't answer my texts,

And the only thing I can think about

Is her last "Until we meet again."
