Walking together
I thought how I’d never
Forget you
(As friends do at night)
I wondered if you’d
Forget me
I imagined you might

Earlier I’d waited for you
Inevitably late
Glancing around
I don’t want you to surprise me
But you do
Friendly remark
On the tip of my tongue
Gone

All undone
Because I’ll miss you became
The I love you for friends
But please
Don’t say you’ll miss me again

For Cherwell, maintaining editorial independence is vital. We are run entirely by and for students. To ensure independence, we receive no funding from the University and are reliant on obtaining other income, such as advertisements. Due to the current global situation, such sources are being limited significantly and we anticipate a tough time ahead – for us and fellow student journalists across the country.

So, if you can, please consider donating. We really appreciate any support you’re able to provide; it’ll all go towards helping with our running costs. Even if you can't support us monetarily, please consider sharing articles with friends, families, colleagues - it all helps!

Thank you!
