i felt someone

sitting down next

to me during lunch

it was you

i was startled

and i was hesitant

to ask why you

decided to sit here

but i gained up

courage

and asked

you responded with

cause i wanna be

friends with you

i was shocked

i didn't understand

why you would

want to be friends

with an outcast

like me

but i asked

anyway

why would you

want to be friends

with me? have you

seen me?

you shrugged

you seem cool

i was taken aback

by your words

they've never been

said to me

i smiled after

realizing that

this is reality

and that

you wanted

to be my friend
