I see her
on the swings
at lunch
it feels like
we are kids again
I walk up to her
my words are hidden
my throat is tight
"what are you waiting for?"
she points
with her eyes
at the open seat
I sit down
I pump my legs
and try to reach her
I look up
at the blue sky
we agree to jump
together
we fall down onto the grass
together
we laugh on our backs
together
it is a special day
a day in the life
the days after it
will have her there
the future
has her in it
