I remember how you would smile at me from across the room and wink as though we had our own personal, private secret. I remember how your grin would show off your perfect teeth and make your nose crinkle up just so. I remember how you had the bluest eyes that I had ever seen and I wished I could find a color that would match them. So I could draw you and keep you with me forever. I remember how you had the strongest arms and I would plead with you to let me hold on to them. And you would swing me back and forth as though I was merely a child. And I remember laughing and laying on my back with you by my side as we stared up At the puffy, white clouds. And tried to make them into animals and people and such. And I remember when I rolled over and kissed your cheek and the look that you gave me. And I remember when you said it was just a silly crush and that I would grow out of it When I was older. I remember the tears that made dirt tracks down my dusty cheeks as you got up and brushed away the grass from your jeans. I remember believing that my heart was shattering right there and that you were simply brushing it away, like the grass. And I remember when you looked back at me sitting there and then turning away. I remember having my heart broke for the first time in my life. So when you ask me, "Do I remember you?" Oh yes, I do remember. |
