I wrote a song about you, and I thought I'd always feel the way I did when I wrote that song.
But now I don't, and it's just...strange.
You didn't do anyhting to me. You're still the same person you always were.
Maybe I'm the different one.
Now I know I wasn't in love.
It was just a crush.
A passing crush.
I feel sad talking like that about you.
But it's true.
I wrote a song about you months ago, on June 8th, before I went away to camp and it changed my life, before I started 7th grade.
I thought I'd always feel the way I did when I wrote that song.
But now I don't.
Now I've changed.
Now I am a new person--
well, a different version of me.
And that's okay.
I wrote a song about you four months ago.
I called it "Drifting Away."
Now, I am no longer drifting.
My feet are planted firmly on the ground.
I know who I am.
I can do this.
I am happy.
(this isn't exactly a poem, kind of just a jumble of mixed emotions, but you can think of it whatever way you like)

Australia
At school we draw in the margins of our notebook paper
and toy with the idea of moving to Australia.
We look up the latest news in between classes, knowing that
the teachers will think we're addicted to our phones.

Apple Cider
I want to drink apple cider with you
Like it’s a fine wine,
Make-believe adult, wrapped in your wool blanket,
Counting the minutes until your parents return.
