Lora made sure
Spencer took his cough medicine.
Kevin gave Reba
A heart-shaped locket.
Matt took a picture
Of his and Rachel's interlocking hands.
Cody told Mary he loved her
When everyone could hear.
Mike made Erin a card
Because he didn't have enough money.
Intimate memories
Between the two of them,
Between all of them.
No explanation
Other than love.
But what happens when
Something goes wrong?
It took so long
For Lora to say yes.
Reba told me,
Her picture's fading.
Matt barely noticed
When Rachel got her surgery.
Mary cried when she heard what happened;
He could have been lost, just like that.
Mike's not improving
His anger.
Is love ever eternal?
Will they know when they need each other,
No matter what logic says?
Forget after high-school,
And remember on your deathbed:
The one you pledged to love
As long as you live.
