September 2026: Change

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

“For Finch” By Erin Post

A chapter of life I shared with that boy.

A chapter of love, of light, of simple joys. 

The page has turned, our bookmark calmly in place,

But my heart holds on to the last sight of his face.

I knew it then, and it's proven to be true,

That was the last time you will love my eyes of blue. 

I tried my very best to try to hold on, 

But all good things must come to an end,

Like the chorus in our favorite song. 

I wish not as just friends, but maybe just once more, 

Will you come watch the clouds with me, Oh please just like before?
