You


 

 

When do you become me?

 

Is it when she broke our heart?

 

Is it when we stayed up for hours with our new friends?

 

Is it when you got that first acceptance letter?

 

Is it when you found out that your top choice wanted you?

 

Is it when you cried because you missed her?

 

Is it when you ran with our dog for hours?

 

Is it when she wanted you back and you said no?

 

Is it when you got a C+ in bio?

 

Is it when you finally got a short hair cut?

 

Is it when you realized that sometimes things just suck?

 

Is it when you stayed up late at night, just thinking?

 

When did you become me?

 

I don’t know, but I’m glad you did.
