The best night of high school came only 3 weeks before graduation.

Senior prom was not what it was supposed to be
but then neither were you.

A night that could’ve ended in tears
was change by a few hours flirting with desire.

(Desire
that fire,
between two "friends" Saturday night.)

Prom night was a illusion built on what ifs,
but you never have been.

You changed my current reality, You were my epiphany.

Carefree and honest, one night without regret; with confidence, within that smile I found what I’d been lacking.

(A new path began one night after senior prom,
a promise (between friends),
and hope for the morning.)

Monday morning,
drunken memories create awkward tension but the night lives on in me.

(Your memory of one night
could change this; us,
taken to a place
where . . . could exist.)

You cut the strings and freed me from this place,
come graduation I’ll think back on this night and thank you;
Thank you for making me feel worthy.

Senior prom was not what it was supposed to be
but then neither were you.

+Okay, re-wrote this . . . Any better?+


Life is a moderately good play w/ a badly written thrid act. - Unknown
