Trust
--Checkerboxed
You sit there
In the crowd
Cheering for me
Your face is flushed from yelling
Your eyes are shining
Your smile is wide.
I pretend I haven't seen you
I don't want you thinking I watch you
You'd be on the lookoutfor me watching you again
And I wouldn't be able to stare at you during class
Or in the dorm room
Or when you sleep
Or while you write, your hair dragging over your face, eyes furrowed in concentration.
So I only turn
A n d r u n
A n d j u m p
A n d f l y.
My arms whipping over my ears and my back arching
Over the bar
And I smile at the sky above me
Trusting that when I land I'll land on something soft.
You're like the h i g h j u m p.
You make me feel like I'm good for something
And I know that even though I make mistakes,
Even though I'm human,
Prone to breaking,
You'll always be there to break my fall.
And I can jump and be myself
And enjoy it,
And trust in you, and the mat.
And aren't all relationships built on trust?
Disclaimer: Okay, so I moved the disclaimer down here because I didn't want to ruin the poem. Anyway, you know the drill, characters and Hana Kimi aren't mine, but the poem is.
Authoress's Note:
Hi. Rhia here. I know this is the first time I've posted in this fandom, but it won't be the last. Oh no, you haven't seen the last of me! I'll probably be posting more poems in this, make it a series or something. I'm in the process of writing a nice long one, but it will be alternate universe. Well, maybe only slightly alternate...
Anyway, please review. I love reviews. I'd put them in my coffeebut I don'tdrink coffee. So there.
Love,
Rhia
