graduation was dreadful,

the long list of names,

the thought of leaving

high school.

as i sat in my chair,

i stared up at the

sky thinking

how you would have

been here.

how you should

have been in the chair

only a few rows behind me,

messing with your tassle

on your cap,

wearing the black gown

waiting to get your diploma.

i wish we got to

graduate together

and receive the little white

paper diploma together.

but you watched

from above,

while i sat below

and walked up the stage

all

alone.
