Thoughts when the sun sets

Remember when

Our laughs of love curled around those swings like

My arms curled around that tree

That stuffy

And we would never let it go

We would stay like that for hours

Making new words

And holidays

And movies in Disney -

And we would make everyone around us

Think we were insane

 

Remember when

We went to fro yo

And clouds soared into our scoops

As we slowly passed California stage

On that car ride back

You asked are you ok

And I said yes

And I meant it

Singing in the ocean

Theres a garden

Then one day

Or a few days

You leave once

Then twice

But we’re fine

Good as new

Right?

 

Remember when

You had left that school

And we texted each other

About one piece of string tied around my wrist

The last connection I had to you

As you texted me each night about your math classes

And when we saw each other again we’d laugh and cry and hug each other

But then

You slowly

Slipped away

Into

Someone

Who did not respect you

Who you are

You spent every minute

And I could see you changing your personality to be with him

But I couldn’t t stop it

And every night I’d text you

Are you ok

And you said yea

But I don’t think you meant it

 

And remember

That summer

Where we didnt hang out

At

All

I could feel me losing you

And I remember knowing I was missing

A huge part of my life

So I went back to school

And you did too

And I was fine

I remember with Lily

On the spiderweb

But all I could think about

Was you

Trapped in your class

 

Remember

The day you toured

And I could feel the art

That you would make

If you came here

And I knew you would

Somehow

And those first few days I thought you forgot about me

You only hung out with Lily and Ellie

But

 

Remember when

You sat next to me on that painted wood bench

And we talked about everything

I learned what you felt

You learned what I knew

And it felt like we were back on the swings

 

So even though we don’t hang out as much

I still want to hang out with you

More than ever

 

Even though we’re not as good friends

I still want to be

More than ever

 

Even though we haven’t sat and talked about everything

For a long long time

I still want to

More

Than

Ever.
