the laugh tumbling from her lips drenched in 'aloha coconut' chapstick the only thing i allowed myself to want
without her i am a hollowed out rind sitting on the sidewalk, with the chalk fading away because of the drizzle and no one to draw in the lines because she and i were the only ones that ever played hopscotch
i love you, and i miss you so much, blue eyes. one day i'll show you all these poems.
