We blossomed in the hot brilliance of discovery and the deep cold of grief, eating social norms alive, tracing deathly hallows in dusty window panes, standing chins-up eyes-shut arms-out in that flood of September sun, calling ourselves wild, because we were.
Beautiful days, I remember. Days of soft. Days of blueness and falling leaves. Days of numb fingers scrabbling with ice skate laces and racing each other onto the rink. Days of studying our fears. Days of madness. Days of converse sneakers and combat boots and teasing height comparisons. Days of mutual insanity, sleeplessness, midnight conversations. Days of standing shoulder to shoulder. Days of unspoken things traversing the silence between us, a communication entirely our own. Days of laughter up to our waists. Days of belonging. Days of young.
You’ve asked me many times, dear, if there’s anything you can do for me. I always say no, but there’s something this time, and it’s this, just this. One small act.
Don’t forget.
Years from now, when everything is different, keep this in you, alive. A second heartbeat. For me. Please.
Don’t forget our days.
Don’t forget how we felt.

So blindly I trip on life's surprise
Blinded by my lustful need for rain
Spoiled by my own spiteful words
Hello parade meet my pain
And once again the sun is not my friend
It's morning and I will wake and pretend
My spring with a touch of crazy
You're my yes, in a world of maybe.
Mirror in front of me
I'm breaking apart so happily
Let me play with my demons alone
how can I not be your home
And once again the sun is not my friend
It's morning and I will wake and pretend
My spring with a touch of crazy
You're my yes, in a world of maybe.
