I think my septum piercing is infected//I miss you

I changed my septum horseshoe piercing into a fancy septum clicker. It has opal and cubic zirconia jewels. I changed it a little too soon. It was a regular work day and I went into the bathroom. I pushed my nose up and the pressure stinged. Pus starts to pour out. I wasn't amused but it reminded me a time of you. Young fools in love.

I was a freshman in college. I've always wanted my septum pierced but that was going to be a no go with my parents. Here was my chance! I went with my roommates that hated me but hey I got the support. You came to visit a week later. You still had a month until you moved to Davis. When you were about to leave I sat on top of you and was wearing my favorite jeans and a SFSU sweater. Underneath I had a sheer body suit I wore just for you. Ronnie and Conor were waiting outside for you. It was a long way back home. I still got nervous before I kissed you. I tried not to tremble. I looked into your eyes, I was scared of a lot. I was on my own, barely any money, a big city, and no friends. You grabbed my face towards yours and kissed me gently. I scrunched my face in pain. It was my septum piercing. It was still tender to touch. He said with much concern "Are you okay?" I smiled and said "Yeah I'm okay."
