The 3rd A: My Nerd
Untied shoelaces, the sixth floor,
For the first time - I scrolled through my pictures
Reminiscing on being together,
My little brother chose him,
picked him as the favorite;
even my dad liked him,
called him 'man bun' with endearment.
Peanut butter and a gallon of milk
My mom saw how we look at each other, read
my essay of an email and approves more daily
Dragon stickers, neck pains
Laughter as entwined as our fingers.
We have years to catch up on
Full-body hugs, ankles crossed,
forehead kisses and tickling ribs
Class schedules memorized, so often just two
against the world, dinners and dorm rooms
Friends mock us, making dirty jokes,
the teasing never stops, I hope we never do
