"New" Student
Hello,
Do I know you?
Yes,
I vaguely remember you.
I saw you at the library,
Once.
But you are just a pale silhouette
In my memory.
Your face is dimmed by the books
I ecstatically picked up.
But now that you are here,
In front of me,
I remember your face,
Slightly younger,
And the way you tilted your head
When reading book descriptions.
Your hair was shorter
And curlier
But I know that's it's you
From the way my face burns,
How my stomach becomes a terrible trapeze artist,
Falling again and again
Needing the net each time,
And how my throat closes
Each time I see you,
Desperately trying
To keep me from saying something stupid.
Yes,
I remember you.

PuisiSo this is just a group of poems I put together. Some are really old, some I will write the day I post them. You're welcome to criticize my work, and give it to me straight. You're also just welcome to read. So, without further ado......
