It’s Valentine’s Day! Everyone is doing their thing, hugs and kisses, flowers and chocolates but I know that your alone on Valentine’s Day. I know you get on the bus soon to go home, so I climb the school and run to you, jumping roofs of the vocational areas and leaping down spiral steps. I’m pacing, hard. I’m sweating, flowers in my mouth as I huff like a dog. My arms and legs burn but no pain no gain. My voice is hoarse. I’M ALMOST THERE! I’m close!! Push! Push! Push through the pain!
