I remember the day we met
looking back
you were so young
we were just kids,
your face smooth and eyes glowing
a smile gracing your cheeks
I watched as she told a joke
and you laughed and laughed
until your head fell back
I remember that night we lingered,
just the two of us, alone,
in the old, forgotten toilet block,
under the midnight moon's glow.
I whispered 'hi,' and you replied,
sharing your music, your soul,
as we plotted our escape,
into the night, together, bold.
I remember that summer
your hair no longer brown
your freckles like the sky
constellations littering your face
skin golden tan
and smile as bright as the moon
your voice croaking
as we belted out songs
I remember when you showed me
showed me abandoned houses
and old forests
showed me the taste of your lips
and the warmth of a cigarette
the warmth of your arms
as we laid in your bed
I remember when we met her
she was pretty like a rabbit
all soft gentle curves and shy
we all fell into love
the three of us, destined to be
she completed our puzzle
the hole in our hearts
I remember when i showed you my friends
you hit it right off
we felt like a family,
I long to return to those days,
when laughter and smiles were abundant
and we acted dumb
like the kids we were
I remember the night you left me.
