Last Day of school

The reason why I'm clumsy is that, I'm always tripping over you!

📝Dear, Cool Kid

Bound by the density

Of my attractiveness to you...

I slipped over my bookbag

In the locker room...

I know that you

Seen me as such a clumsy one...

But honestly, I was only tripping over you!

I'm constantly tripping over you!

At home, I lay in bed

Reminiscing about the way you said, “Are you okay?”

When I fell and hit my head...

My Books fell and you gathered one up!

I still deem the sentiment of your touch-

On my hand,

As you handed over my pen.

I think of you in my Dreams...

I Dream of you being with me...

I fancy,

The way that you wear fresh sneakers...

I admire,

The way you squint your eyes to get a striking picture...

I'm sure you didn't know

That I pleaded for the seat next to you...

I'm a little bit skittish,

So I wrote this letter to you...

That I will deliver...

On the last day of school!

Me
