im living for the thought of you

living for our friends to laugh

as we walk down the halls

hand in hand

or see each other in passing

and smile knowingly

living to show up to school

in your hoodie

or for you to show up in mine

a reminder that we are connected

living for late nights

wrapped in each others arms

comfort that neither of us

has ever felt

and will ever feel with anyone else

living for walks in the park

coffee in one hand

and your hand in my other

living for sweet nothings

whispered in the dark

or a shared glance

a secret

living for prom

when we step out in our dresses

and gasp when we see each other

shocked by joy

and happiness

and comfort

living for the hope of you

the dream of you

if not today

one day
