Chapter 61
Chapter Sixty-One
Riley’s Poem:
When you smile, I feel warm
Even in December
My heart does a weird thing
Like a squirrel in a blender
Nat’s Poem:
Riley, when you smile, I look a lot
Then I look some more like a man who got got
Then I look at your eyes, which are important to me
I’m addicted to you
Like I am to coffee
Riley’s Poem:
If your eyes were a color wheel,
I would stop the wheel on green
The other colors?
They would go unseen.
Nat’s Poem:
Riley, when you walk into a room,
I forget why I’m there
Except to exist at the same time
And breathe the same air
Riley’s Poem:
I wish I could tell you
Every time I see you
I want to show you my heart so badly
But you won’t ever choose me
Nat’s Poem:
I choose you.
In every world. In every timeline.
And when you feel broken
I’ll make you feel fine.
Neither of us are poets and that much is true
But the one thing that won’t change with time is…
Riley, I love you.
