Forgotten Note

I left a friend's note in my pocket

By mistake last Saturday

It says "you are loved"

In printed cursive

She handed one to every girl there

Reminding us we didn't need a romance

Like they tell us in the books

I take it out of my pocket now

Feeling the paper between cold fingers

One drop of rain falls

Smudges the printing

I look up. The rain falls on my coat, my

Shoulders, my back.

My breath comes out short.

Is it truth?
