Togetherness is…
Togetherness is calling your friends, whilst you can’t be there,
Togetherness is speaking to them, like nothing has happened.
Togetherness is being there for each other even though we are stuck inside,
Togetherness is speaking when you cannot be heard.
Togetherness is getting outside every Thursday to say thank you,
Togetherness is saying thank you to the people who we hardly know.
Because they are the ones that will make us be together again,
Because they will make this all end.
Togetherness is looking after each other,
Being there for each other,
And Protecting each other.
Togetherness is not giving up on each other,
Staying with each other when we cannot.
Sticking together throughout all this,
And never leaving each other behind.
