“he loves you”

[poem by hayden blaney ’26]

There are times

When words can’t express What you want to say

When the hurt burns so bad Throw yourself into the cold But it doesn’t cool the sting

I can’t say that I know what it’s gonna be like And I can’t say if you’ll lie awake all night And I can’t assume

But what I think he’d say to you Is live life to it’s fullest Laugh until you can’t no more Love with all your heart and Don’t waste time keeping score Sing even when your voice breaks Dance until your legs give out And remember that he loves you Of that have no doubt burn
