To the judge: My name is Ashley and my AP name is 'Hellizacomin'. I don't use the site much anymore and am sorta kinda new to it again lol and I could not figure out how to edit so I could put this information in the AP notes. So I figured I would try at least to leave it in the comment box. I hope my poem relates to your topic. I wrote it when I was I was 17 and I was not over a relationship that had ended almost a year ago. I was in the same position you're in. He was in my chemistry class and sat one row over one seat up from me and I used to just stare at him all class thinking 'There he is but he's not mine.. So close but yet so far' Thinking back on it now it was only a childhood crush. I hope this is what you were looking for. This was a good idea for a contest. Thank you for your time. Good luck with your contest. Have funn and be happy about life!!
