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.
