⌠ 1 ⌡
Time seems to pass all too fast.
A week, two, three,
all blur together.
It's times like this
that I wish I could stop.
Just live here and now.
But life moves on,
things change,
feelings change.
But I can't.
What'll I do next year?
The year after?
The question haunts me.
Everyone else seems to have
it all figured out.
Here I am.
Thinking only
of now.

It's so cliche
it hurts.
The cherry blossoms are blooming
in full force.
It was supposed to rain,
but there are no clouds,
not even a wisp.
The seniors are outside
for the ceremony.
I can spot her pink hair
from anywhere.
"Man when is this thing ending," Takeshi says.
"Shh," I tell him.
The speakers drone on and on.
Her head keeps bobbing up and down.
Is she falling asleep?
We laugh.
The ceremony continues.
Time for the seniors to receive their diplomas.
Every name closer
to her's,
I feel tension.
Tightening in my chest.
When I imagine her
holding that certificate,
I feel so distant from her.
The audience claps as
each student
goes up to the podium.
"Takanashi Ai."
Takeshi nudges me to clap.
