farewell, but not really

i'll be honest i have been dreading this day

our pen names haven't only given us an identity, but a reason to stay

and it's hard because 1 sided dimples can't cover everything

only red cheeks and bad humor

i hope i've been worth your time

and i hope i've made you feel a hundred things at once

because that's how i've been feeling.

and everyday i think i have a new disease

and i care way too much about other people's grades.

and sometimes its hard because i know i'm already a hypochondriac and a stress case

but that's only 1 reason to leave

and don't worry

because i've got 12 more to stick around

so this won't be the last of me

you haven't seen the last of me.

how could I forget

I remember when times were simpler.

When the hardest part of the day was tying your shoes.

I remember making bread for the first time in kindergarten and it tasting so good

I remember you and your contagious laugh
and how we thought riding in the wagon down our street was a good idea.
You couldn't steer so we tried leaning,
but we both came home with a little bit of gravel in our legs.

really it was alright because nothing mattered to us at that age.

I remember a childhood full of otter pops and knuckle sandwiches,

of too many night terrors and the million lemonade stands we had

I remember the way your lips curled at the edges
and how you always looked like you were hiding something.

OF COURSE I remember crepes at 3 am
and how I tried to french braid your almost long enough hair
even though I knew it wouldn't work.

I remember thinking since I was already late

I might as well stay out even later.

Because I swear you never sleep

but I'm sure you still wake up beautiful.

You're a Libra that lied about being an Aries just to make me excited.

And you even said "serious tweet" when it was definitely not a serious tweet.

and I remember catching you staring & me staring back through my peripheral vision

and I remember laughing with you until it hurt while we were standing in the rain.

I remember you said "Karen" but I thought you said "turn"

so the jello game got real, real fast.

I don't remember his voice anymore or the sting that comes with it.

I don't remember the empty sky and empty silences.

because now all I can remember are the rap battles
and how there's never enough time in the day.

the right turn then two lefts and another right.

I remember thinking you were one of those "too cool" people

but first impressions are almost never right.

and I can't stop remembering you.

tangible words

I woke up this morning missing you.

because I can't forget

the way your eyes crinkle

on the sides when you smile.

and in first grade I told myself that

I would marry a man with those eyes.

those kinds people are special to me.

maybe that's why its hard.

because you finally gave me the time of day

after weeks of absent "hellos" in the hall.

and I can't remember to forget and

I can't forget what I remember.

maybe that's why it's hard.
