i remember,
three years ago,
i met you under the bleachers.
you showed me your rock collection
that you kept in your pocket.
and taught me the names
of all the constellations in the sky.
you smiled at me
when no one else would even look.
you laughed with me,
when no one else would even talk.
i remember,
you showed me how to tie a slipknot
in balloon strings so you can easily
remove them from your wrist
when you get home from the carnival.
i remember,
three months ago,
you held me tight.
i was cold,
as it was nearing winter
so you wrapped your arms around me
and held on.
i remember, you breathed on my neck
and whispered saccharine everythings into my ear.
i remember,
three days ago,
you told me you loved me.
i closed my eyes and breathed in.
secretly, i pinched my thigh to make sure
that this was actually real and that i wasn't dreaming.
i wasn't.
oh, shit, i wasn't dreaming for once.

A very beautiful piece you have constructed here. I enjoyed the cute and kind of holds an innocent feel to it. The feelings in this are undeniable. Very well done.
