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.
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.
