torn in two

is the photograph that we took with my old rusty polaroid on my sixteenth birthday

and i know i shouldn't tell you but i just can't stop thinking about you

and that's why I dug it out from the bottom of my suitcase

because i'm moving now, far away from you

and long distance was never my thing because who will hold me when i'm having an anxiety attack over school

and who will come over and tutor me the next day so that i never have to panic about school again

and who will visit me in each of my classes to make sure i'm doing alright

and who will get out of class early to give me a hug after seeing my report card, no matter the grades

who will know me well enough to know that i tried my best even if there are six fails on that report card?

it won't be you,

because our photograph is torn in two
