So, the semester ended today. We won't see each other for a month over break. We all went out to a club to celebrate our last day and we were dancing. There were so many girls surrounding you, trying to dance with you, flirting with you, trying to get your attention even just for five minutes. I have never been one to compete, so I thought, "this is probably right. This is probably less complicated and sweeter and gentler and will make you happier," so I stood back. I ignored you most of the night, but at the end, it was my ear you chose. You whispered that you were leaving, and I said "yeah, me too, soon." Then I told our friend we were going, and you whispered "hurry" in my ear. We wrapped up, and people followed us. And you practically raced me out the door, just trying to get a few minutes of us alone. I could feel you rushing me. And then they were there, and you walked way out of your way, in the direction of my house, trying to ditch everyone else, but they just walked with us, between us, and I just smiled, because I knew how hard you'd worked to attempt to say good bye. Just to me. Just in the quiet of the snow falling. Just you and me. We might not have gotten it, but I never would have known it meant something to you if you hadn't worked so hard to try to get those couple of seconds.
