i moved away from home this year & now live a great life in Long Beach, California. i just want a simple love with a simple boy

The Past Is Still There

I've forgotten so much.
What it felt like back then,
what we said to each other.

But sometimes when I'm standing
at the kitchen counter after dinner
and I look out the window at the dark

thinking of nothing,
something swims up.
Tonight this:

your laughing into my mouth
as you were trying
to kiss me.

You are pretty! and you seem to have a grip on reality, for being 15. I spent a lot of my life in Cali. You seem to mature faster there. I can't wait to read some of your art.
