Joy
By: Lily Truong
I felt joy
From when we first met,
To when we had our small fights.
I felt joy
When you told me about who you liked
And when you told me you had found love.
I felt joy
When you ruffled my hair
Or when you would see me dressed up.
I felt joy
When I got you gelato
That one rainy day.
I felt joy
When we spoke
Or when we liked each other’s posts.
I felt joy
And only joy.

Writer's Statement: These pieces were written during different stages of my life, including heartbreak, peace, and sadness. I was hoping to give the readers a little more work to do since these poems can be interpreted in any way and are subjective, like any other piece of art work.
