but then i remember
i'm not entirely lonely,
even if there is only
the kind boy from school.

"hey",
is what i say
when he answers
the phone.

"are you alright?",
he asks right
after hearing my voice.
he must have noticed it trembling.

"can we meet somewhere?"
never mind if it is here
or there,
i don't care.

"of course, how about the park?",
he suggests.
"see you there",
i say yes.

so i set off
to find the knight
who will fight
on my side.
