STOLEN

I want to see you all again.

I want to be tardy to first period one more time.

I want to walk at graduation, get my diploma, attempt a backflip, land on my face, and have the video go viral.

I want to take her to prom, and I want my breath to leave my lungs when I see her, and I want to not be able to find the right words to use, but maybe that’s because the right words don’t exist.

They don’t exist.

I want to apologize.

Because I took it for granted.

I slept in, skipped the assemblies, skipped the games, skipped the events,

laughed when I shouldn’t have laughed, talked when I should’ve stayed quiet.

And left, when I should’ve just stayed.

I should’ve just stayed.

If I could do it all again, I would.
