I would not have any other.

The passion behind it

"Come on we've got lit"

Not only my teacher,

You may as well have been my preacher.

Guiding me here

Supporting me there

Even "what are you planning to wear?"

They can be orange like the rust on your swings that you’ve forgotten

They can be blue like the tears that stream down your face after you’ve gone and got rotten

(i hope you guys like it!)

Tysm for the poem!

This is very nice and I like the descriptions of soft and harsh feelings of colors

This is very well written!

Also sorry for inactivity!
