if you're different that's okay
be good different
like the colour pink
wear dark t shirts
sing pop music

but don't hug the spiders
because that makes you weird

and no one wants to be friends with the weird kid

the pretty boy
with dark brown eyes
sits two seats in front of me
in science class

he likes to make jokes
about what he doesn't understand
and i like to make sure
he knows i love him all the same

if there is only 18 months left of green
i want to make sure it’s not bittersweet
hold your hand in the shade of the apple tree
and remember what it’s like to
fall in love
