i remember once something like two years ago we were barely more than friendly acquaintances and i was a different person and you were just starting to become one
and i remember it was summer and everything should have been okay but i was ditching school having decided to be nothing that day
and i remember you asked how i was and in a moment of weakness or maybe strength i told you the truth that all i needed was physical comfort and a cigarette and i was tired of being alone, but i kept that last part to myself
and i remember you showed up not even an hour later with exactly what i needed despite never having asked that of you and we sat beside each other and though it was quiet i finally felt like something again and you smoked out my window for the first time and i took a picture of you without you knowing for the first time
i remember realizing i didn’t need to be alone
