I always smile,
Whenever I'm around you.
You make me happy,
And laugh a lot too.

Yes, you can be aggressive,
But I know you always mean well.
You come from a different background
And always have great stories to tell.

I hope we keep in touch
After the end of senior year.
You've been such a great friend
And never seeing you again is what I fear.

At least you're going somewhere close,
And no longer out of state.
I promise that next year I'll actually see you,
Face to face, on your birthdate.

I'm sorry I didn't see you today,
I feel like a terrible friend.
But you love school so much
And I can't wait for it to end.

So yes, I didn't go today.
I'm a senior and I SKIPPED SCHOOL!
I stayed at home, slept in, and played games.
But I missed you very much, my Ghanaian Jewel <3
