It didn’t seem like much.

Seemed like nothing,

nothing at all.

But she was all alone,

so you invited her over

and she stayed with you.

You were glad to have a new friend.

You colored together, played after school

and stayed friends over the years.

The clock spun

and in no time, you entered middle school.

Teasing started.

Boys can’t be friends with girls.

You drifted apart,

but time brought you back together.

It’s high school now.

Through homework, classes, and late studying

you stayed close.

At graduation, you said goodbye

with tears in your eyes.

But it was not the end.

It was a new beginning.

Because if not for that one moment

that seemed like nothing,

nothing at all,

you would not see her

walking down the aisle

right now.
