Shuffling into high school class,
We picked a girl to wear the sash.
While we learned and turned the page,
A bout a billion hormones rage.

I left a senior, emerged a fresh,

To pick a life, with my best guess.

I took a shot at freedom dues,

To serve with soldiers on the news.

Now I'm back, back in school,

Finals, coffee, majors dual.

I'm close to meeting expectations,

Through a thousand applications.

I need the job to pay the rent,

So I may dwell on my youth spent.

A Monday comes to start the week,

Where excitements left to seek.

My heart rates up, eye contact,

But would she even txt me back?

Txting, tweeting, a modern waltz,

To date and quiz each other's faults.

A Facebook feed of friends and rings,

Reminding me that time has wings.

It's ten PM so I'm yawning,

About a day's end that is dawning.

It's nice to hold hands, no more phone,

Save the club, let's stay home.

Remember life when we were young?

I tell you now, it's re-begun.
