Seeping Heart

My Best Friend Loves Me For Now

Dear girl of whom I have dubbed my best friend,

There is no escape.

I met you in my first hour biology class

A place of which I feared

Because I knew no one

I had left the only world I’d ever known

And I wasn’t sure if I had made the right choice

And then

I met you

For those first few weeks

You were my lifeline

There was a joy I’d never known before

When you later came to sit with me at lunch

No one had approached me before

And it was a pleasant experience

Finding that I wasn’t so scary

As I’d once thought I was

You are

Someone I will always hold close

Someone I will always love

You,

Who I can turn to

When there’s no one else

You,

Who understands me

Please,

I know I’m selfish

And I’m greedy

But I need you

So please don’t leave me

Help me live up to my word

When I tell you that there is no escape
