Fredrick


 

Fredrick-

Well, Sam

I’m sorry I still cannot deviate the two-

You are quite the fabulous thing

I wish you could’ve stayed

Though I hope you’re doing well nevertheless

This seems strange, but I was so glad that you were nice

With Pirates I mean, of course…

So many others could’ve been pretentious and awful

All was made more interesting due to you

It helped a lot

You really are quite intriguing, since although I never knew you well, it felt like I did-

You were very kind…

I’m repeating myself.

But even in how you liked my silly drawings and weren’t offended by ‘The Perfect Gentlemen’

I wish you could’ve stayed

This school is and was home for me, and seemingly so, you as well-

You should not have been cast out

Still, I am thankful that I knew you

Albeit briefly.

You are posturing, yet sweet, and that’s not often the case

I doubt I’ll ever stop calling you Fredrick

It’s a flaw in my brain perhaps,

I’ll see you some odd someplace,

I will be forty seven

And you’ll still look twenty one

And I might say “Hi Fredrick"

Then hopefully edit, “Sam…"

Well anyways

I hope you’re doing fantastically!
