"hi, i'm caleb."
the boy i love held out a hand
for me to shake
me.
i shooked it
i always wanted to
touch his hand
"i'm spencer."
i replied
i hope my voice didn't quaver
my hands are tingling from the touch
i hope he didn't notice that
why is he talking to me anyway?
i'm different
is this an illusion? a dream?
please, don't be
give me this one moment
please.
"i don't have a chemistry partner,
can you be my partner?" he asked.
"yes." i said way too quickly
did i seem desperate
or excited?
play it cool, spencer
he might think you're a freak
and then he laughed
that beautiful laugh
i smiled back
this was the boy who made
my heart beat
i wished to stop this moment
right here, right now
because this was enough for me
he was enough for me.
