Are You Okay?
It's been six years,
Sixteen days,
Six hours,
Sixteen minutes,
And six seconds.
The night you asked me,
"Are you okay?"
And I told you,
"I'm fine",
I was a lie.
Four years,
Forty days,
Fourteen hours,
Four minutes,
Forty seconds.
You pulled me aside during class,
My face adorned with tears,
And you asked me,
"What made you upset?"
I sniffed,
"Nothing".
Yet it was always something.
Two years,
Twenty days,
Two minutes,
Twenty-two seconds.
Scribbling on a paper,
Angry,
Embarrassed,
Terrified,
A tear slipped down my cheek,
I was pulled outside.
You told me,
"Learn to endure frustration",
I nodded,
I wasn't okay.
Five months,
Twenty-one weeks ago,
Fifty minutes ago,
I broke,
I called,
You came,
And fixed,
I healed.
After that night,
I was truly,
And utterly,
Okay
