“Left Behind”, Sara Schultz ‘22

she/her, ‘22 by Sara Schultz Left Behind

i saw on your forearm that you got a tattoo ‘404’ it read— her birthday.

i can’t help but think that if i had said my sorry or reached out just one more time or reached out just one more time maybe mine would be on there too.

you both moved away and in with each other maybe that’s why we don’t talk anymore or maybe i shouldn’t give you that much credit.

i just wish you turned back when you left perhaps you’d have seen me standing there with my arms outstretched waiting.

maybe one day i’ll look back and think “we were so young” and think “we were so young”
