Sodachi Riddle
I've always known
that words are lies
Quickly we forget
that which is vague and unclear
by escaping into a realm of magic
which stifles truth
During a sunless summer
I derived
the answer alone
The answer was you
I found an answer
that I thought was more correct
than anybody else

I hear your laughter near me
You were supposed to be there forever
I breathed onto the classroom window and wrote your name
only to panic and wipe it with my sleeve
I heard your voice from the hallway
and went home in hurry to hide my feelings
At some point I became unable
to talk to you normally
I can hear your laughter a ways away
You were supposed to be next to me forever
You knew how I felt
even when I said nothing
Now I know how important you were to me,
but we will never see each other again
