i remember you you wore your smile the way a traveler wears a pack it was everything your eyes were bright with adventure glaciers tucked into the folds of the rockies blue i'm blue too i thought i lost you four years ago today the phone rang like funeral bells i answered like a murderer expecting to find a detective at the door the hospital still makes me sick i can't forget it all of your friends who always seemed as strong as sequoias strewn across the floor faces painted with snot smears and tear stains i thought i lost you under sagging soil and a painted headstone there in the pines above the river valley laughter traded for the footsteps of the saddest parade i tried to say goodbye but i found you there in your sisters smile and in the movie theater aisle and parked in a little rusty black truck in front of my parents house i find you everywhere while i giggle and sing and tell the people i love how much i do love them you're there doing the chicken dance behind the arresting officer thanks for reminding me to smile
