This poem is for my best friends who graduated today (I'm a couple of years younger so I won't see them for a long time). They have grown so much over the time I've known them, and I cannot be more proud.
This is for you guys.
~~~
As we lay down our guns,
Just for a moment,
We forget our tragedy that is plaguing the world.
As we cry and we hug,
Just for a moment,
Our friendship is stronger than a siren's wail at sea.
As you hand me the shrink wrapped flower,
Just for a moment,
My troubles empty through a drain in my mind.
As I watch you walk away,
Just for a moment,
I cannot understand how it came to this.
As you turn the corner of the hall,
Just for a moment,
I see ourselves and our memories flash before me.
As I sob and think of you,
Just for a moment,
I cannot be more proud of the people you have become.
As I watch my friends leave me once more,
Just for a moment,
I say to myself that this time it's good.
As I think back on our fondest memories,
Just for a moment,
I see why exactly you chose not to abandon me.
As I imagine second grade... lunch in the courtyard... GSA...
Just for a moment,
I remember that you will always be a part of me.
As Caitlin,
Marcel,
Jessica,
Ryan,
Mary Kate,
and Rhiannon
walk down the hall and away from here...
I live in that moment forever.
