Ivy
I remember in fourth grade
You liked me 'cuz we both weren't tall
Five years since
We've grown together like ivy on a wall
But ivy can only grow as tall as its host
I stretched as you stood rigid
Through every gap until there was nowhere left to go
So I wrapped around a tree
It grew as I
And so there I stayed
You hugged me
As if those years never happened
Your embrace was like spending winter in a cabin
Five years in reverse
Your words, "I miss you" felt like a curse
Your eyes tried to meet mine to embellish
But if you love me
Then be happy when I find love in someone else
