it is one of those memories
you succumb into
if you don’t write it down.
there were three of us,
the usual roster
for a small group of college friends;
two love birds and a third wheel
who’s got it under control.
little did i know,
though pop cultures
didn’t really interest me
the same way it didn’t
appeal to them,
we didn’t see it coming.
it was all fun and games,
skipping classes and
getting drunk,
the usual talk that bores
you if i go on.
of course, like in
any other event of a story
the settings are alluring
for young audiences
where it could’ve
been somewhere else:
we spent one
evening on this theme park
in a pier,
one of those few moments you’ll
never forget either way.
i believe in giving
all the details
but if you insist,
we were walking
after the eats and the rides.
me’s on the left,
he’s on the right
and the she’s in the middle,
between us.
she held both of our hands,
on my side i felt
her tight hold and i didn’t
bother how was it on the other
end ‘cause we’re all friends
and
it all seems irrelevant
to talk about now.
after all,
it’s just memory
you don’t want succumb into
if you don’t write it down.
