two backpacks on one. hands locked. 

morning talks. after school waiting. greetings with smiles, blossomed. 

melting time-brought distance. 

complicated thoughts. soft words. resolving conflicts. 

unfinished conversations. pictures across messages. 

movies listed. planned calls. scheduled dates. 

ice skating & silken weather. flowers picking. sunset to Lawrence Hall. 

playlist. shared music. rhythmic love patterns. 

novel concepts. the pair of a writer and an editor. 

long walks. bookstores, cafes, mostly for one. 

silly stories, catching up on each other’s days. complete. 

refusing to say goodbyes, tight hugs and imprints of memories. 

more pieces of existence. Lego to Papier, chocolate to purple ribbon. 

counting hundreds.
