coffee from fuelzone// the prospect of seeing your face// my friend’s laughter filling the mess during lunch hour// Mama’s daily calls// attendance// seeing my brother’s letter stuck on the cupboard door// because it’s almost the weekend// hearing about my roommate’s day after class// Papa’s ‘good morning’ text// because I’d just lie there and miss you otherwise// I’m already awake so I might as well get up// my grades// because it’ll be December before I know it// I don’t want to be unfulfilled potential// my best friend will call me in a week// because it’ll be summer again// you.
