SHE: Poem 2 – “she cares”
she bumped into me in the hallway
my books went flying—
i braced for laughs
but she knelt down
and asked so softly, “you okay?”
her smile felt like sunlight
sneaking past clouds
my heart tripped
over its own surprise
i mumbled “i’m fine,”
though i barely knew
all afternoon i kept replaying
her voice —that gentle question
echoing in my head
did she mean it?
i don’t want just a guess—
maybe this time
i’m certain: she cares.
