retoro is a word meaning retro

レトロ

i know that you may think

that you have nothing to do with retro,

and you'd be right

but that made me think about how i have nothing to do with you

we have spoken so few times

and i have been able to call you a friend

but i'd like to

i'd actually like to call you more than that

but i want to be your friend first

maybe whilst i write these letters we can become friends

but i guess i usually write more of a poem so

here you go

you are like a modern cd

whilst i am a retro vinyl

our generations do not mix well

yet in some cases

some of you generation finds us hidden away

behind a wall

or in the back part of a bookstore

hidden away from society

they bring us out and show us off to the world

i would never be ashamed to with you

i would find it comforting to shown off by you

or others keep us hidden

keeping them to themselves

but i would also love that

being yours and only yours

but that is a mere dream

a fairy tale if you will


clockwork, clockwork is how this mystery person works. right on time, every friday before i walk to my locker before history, but after i grab my lunch two periods before history. i smiled at today's letter and set it in it's rightful spot.

i walked into history but i didn't sit down. we had an assembly today and we had to walk down with our class. i sat on simon's desk and waved at him as he walked in.

"hey markus, why are you on my desk?" i simply laughed off his question as he sat down in his seat. 

he offered me an earbud and i gratefully took it and listened to the song he was playing. it was very different from yesterday's song but i still loved it none the less. although i had a hard time understanding what she was saying, but simon didn't have that problem whatsoever. he mouthed along all the words.

the bell rung and everyone turned towards the teacher as he motioned for us to follow him. simon changed the song as we walked down the hall. i held in a laugh as i thought about how we literally just met but acted like we've been friends for years.

i was very confused by the song that played and laughed a little. it was called body by mother mother. it was an, interesting song. simon kept looking at me to see my reaction to the song. i just smiled and laughed quietly.

he put the earbuds away as we sat down and we began to talk. after a few minutes the principle walked out and started blabbing on about some fund raiser. i tuned him out and focused on my conversation with simon.

the assembly ended and we went our separate ways, waving goodbye. daniel glared at me when he saw me in the hall but walked the other way. i sighed in relief, not really wanting to talk to him.

it was gonna be hard to stay with simon if daniel hated me.
