Our Bond

At first

I am nervous

Having never even touched a girl

or a guy

it's our first date

I look at you

I see your beauty

I want to cry

but I don’t.

it’s our fifth date

we know eachother well

we bond

we laugh

by our tenth date

I have to hold myself back

from saying I love you

at the end of the night

we call eachother everyday

for weeks

until I fell

down a deep dark hole in my mind

I can’t think of anything good anymore

one day

I am late for our date

I’m never late

you open the door to my apartment

and find me sobbing

but you don’t run away

you run to me

to

comfort.

I tell you I’m depressed

you

want to help me get better?

you don’t think I’m weird?

a freak?

an attention seeker?

I start to cry in relief

I have faith in you.
