Goodbyes
May 16, 2012
Tiny fingers aching
As I reach your way,
Other small hands, come to stay
I wish I was them
Padding through the puddles of innocence
Of climbing trees
And make believe
My tiny fingers ache to say hello.
But I know
Boyfriends
And high school
And first kisses
Come too soon
But my tiny fingers still ache for you
Childhood
I’m not good at goodbyes
And neither are you.
