15.4673%

15.4673%

A Poem by Katie

Studies, tests, experiments.

15.4673 percent.

“Couples don't last.”

“Prepare yourself, there plenty fish in the sea.”

This is different. You could even say peculiar.

Past boyfriends and sweethearts

are as significant as a speck of sand on a beach of millions.

But one day through a muddy Frisbee game and some sick catches,

I met you.

You were special. Almost perfect (On the fact that nothing is)

And it was surreal.

You thought I turned you down that night (I had previous arrangements)

But I offered the next night. You said you were leaving the day after that

But we said what the hell.

I went into the night head first thinking I wasn't ever going to see you again. (Boy was I wrong)

As the night went on, it passed in a blur. (Proving time does fly when having fun)

Bowling pins, the ever so popular fro-yo, and long boards.

When you finally kissed me, I felt something (Not that cliché bullshit of sparks)

But something coursed through my veins

And I knew I would see you again.


A year and some months more, I still see you every weekend.

As I sit there with my legs lazily thrown across your lap,

I realize that we're the exception.

15.4673 percent of couples last through high school and college.

No we aren't one in a million. (Every middle school couple says the first day they “date”)

But baby, I do believe that we are 15.4673 in a hundred.
