The faces around me smile and cheer
So I laugh and spread out a smile from ear to ear
Because this year was my last
And though I’m excited to move past,
I’m feeling nostalgic even though I’m still here.

The author's comments:
After swimming all 4 years of high school, I was at the last swim meet of the season, and probably the last one I'll compete in for the rest of my life. A feeling of nostalgia swept over me remembvering my friends who had been there the year before and were now gone, and how I would soon be one of them, no longer swimming at the school.
