When I Was 19 I Listened to Beck

This is by far the best moment I can recall, besides the ones when I’m with you.

I hope this will become a favorite past time,

When my child looks at me

Asking how I felt when I was 19,

I’d say pretty **** well;

For I sit on my bed after my alarm sound, class would be calling in 45 minutes.

I spend most of my mornings alone, thumbing through past words exchanged or written poems still hungry to be edited.

I blanket my legs

And wear his sweat shirt

With a coffee mug sitting on my left thigh, my four fingers curled around the handle. I can still feel the heat of it all.

This is by fair my favorite moment when I’m not around him, because I have just woken from a dream and my eyes are still heavy with sleep but the caffeine seems to be digging its way through my blood stream.

The air conditioning sounds remind me of a hotel and if I close my eyes I can smell the ocean.

But the coffee, I’ll taste through my English class

As I adore my professors ways,

Thinking it feels pretty **** good

To be nineteen.
