You waited where
the ivy climbed
Between the benches lost in time
A note inside a folded page
That held the calm before the change
I hesitated near the gate
But you were there, I knew you'd wait
You wrote it all in careful
lines
A truth we'd hidden in disguise
I didn't cry,
I only smiled
As if we'd just paused for a while
The bell rang once,
then
once again
I walked the hallway back alone
The sun had dipped,
the wind had grown But in my cold,
your words remained
I was shaken by the shift of rain I hesitated near the gate
But you were there, I knew
you'd wait
You wrote it all in careful lines
A truth we'd hidden in disguise
I didn't cry,
I only smiled As if we'd just paused for a while
Now every
time the school bell rings I hear the weight of
little things
No letter left, no
hands to hold
But in that gate our vow unfolds
