the finals went way better then
the first time did
more witnesses
less stuttering
i actually got through it
without making a fool of myself
it was coherent
i made sense
AND I HIT ALL THE POINTS NEEDED
well i wouldnt say i did amazing
but it was SO GOOD
for memorizing it
mere hours before
i came out
feeling like
i was going to throw up
but in a good way
ant was still waiting
so i was alone
with a few 7th graders
that id become friends with
waiting is the hardest bit
i slipped away
sitting on the stairs
that i knew youd
come down
i sat there
earbuds in
book out
talking to no one
waiting to see your feet
waiting for you to talk to me
so i could have plausible deniability
"oh yeah,
totes didnt see you there
this one
very specific spot
which just happens to be
where you would come from
just HAPPENED
to be where i decided to
read my book
uh huh
wasnt waiting for you
im not that clingy"
i dont know if you know
but i watched you walk
down those stairs
well more
weirdly run
down them
i loved you
but was still in denial
told myself
it was in a friendly way
you came up to me
and i, always the actress,
pretended to be surprised
you were so excited
you were practically glowing
and i was so happy for you
we walked back
to where everyone was
the hard part was over
and you could feel it
how the atmosphere
had completely changed
i felt like i could finally breathe
