Here's to pianos. To uncut toe nails and broken jaws. Here's to sweaty palms and fancy door knobs. The last tissue in the box and third graders who know every single dinosaur. Here's to prickly legs and furless cats. Slamming doors and rubbing alcohol. Fun house mirrors and wet towels. Here's to the boy with the sweaty armpits, And the biggest heart in the room. Here's to all the girls who will never give him a chance Because his hair is greasy And he always has pieces of apple stuck in his braces. Here's to grandmothers holding their children's babies for the first And last time. Here's to six foot tall nine year olds And acne covered foreheads. North Ohio and beehives. Here's to wrinkles and back pain, And the kids who never change for gym class. Here's to burnt papers and wrongful convictions. Faked I love you's and backwards t shirts. For every broken leg and broken heart, Seasonal depression and ADD. For unshaven armpits and ripped jeans. Frequent showers and twisted ankles. ****** mattresses and forged signatures. Here's to the things that remind me of you.

You, again
