Do you remember when we were young, and we hung out by this tree?
Vividly, I remember.
My heart used to pound loud, when you were near, every day.
We would always roll down that stupid, steep hill once we heard our parents’ call for us.
Do you remember when we slept here?
Vividly, I remember.
You fell asleep on my shoulder.
You were so pretty.
Your face, your freckles, your brown locks.
You were what I wanted.
Needed.
Remember when you cried your blue eyes under the shade of the tree?
Clearly, I remember.
You never told me why but always said you were fine.
I never believed you.
I always wanted to be there for you, even when you were stubborn.
I always loved you.
I don’t know why you did it but finding you suspended from this tree only forces my hand to do the same.
But I know you wouldn’t want that.
I’ll visit you every day.
I love you, Claire.
Always.
