Turning.

lately i've been remembering
those good times
that stick out from the bad

like that first time we went out
[and i listened to you]
talk my night away
with the silliest grin
on my face

and the first time
you dared to hold my hand
in the car
driving to the movies
[and i swear]
i.thought.i.would.die.right.there

when i kissed you
[when you should have kissed me]
i cried so hard
thinking.you.would.hate.me
But my soul soared
when you simply

kissed
back

when weekly visits to the hookah bar
were
mandatory
and Harry Potter movie marathons
came easily
when life was all cigarettes
and make out sessions
in the front seat of your car
before you dropped me off at home

i remember when you would call
every night
to tell me you loved me
missed me
[even if you had just left]
i slept so easy
knowing i was on your mind

that.it.was.me.you.were.dreaming.of

when we had cotton candy kisses
and all those long drives
we took
singing along to the radio
ravaging each other at the
[red lights]

oh sugar roo.


[i hate how i miss you]
