This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.
Look back
Just who are you?
Because if I held my breath for just a second
Would I somehow be closer to you?
If we look at the sky during the witching hour
On the same day
At the same time
Are we seeing a similar moon?
Do you
Or have you
Thought about me the way I
Eat
Sleep
And dream of you?
Are we
On the same page?
Or are you paragraphs
And chapters
Ahead of me, stopping only for a fraction of a second
Once you realize I’m not there.
Are there
Places you’d like to take me that defy what it means to be alive?
Are these
Places pleasantly present?
Or
Would you like to wander through my past?
How
Will
I
know
To protect my neck, or give invitations?
