Green grass,
dew strung clippings
with the fresh cut smell.
Sticking between my toes,
as I ran. Barefoot.
Or maybe taking pictures,
smiles and games
long since forgotten.
pretending this hollow shell
would hold.
Perhaps even the tears.
Moments we can't get back,
even if we wanted too.
But mostly you...
My biggest memory...
Of a mistake.
