underneath my eyelids
Tia Sep 2014
Everything that I do reminds me of you.
I close my eyes and take in the view.
I wonder if you ever think of me too.
I take a bite of my strawberry shortcake and remember that picnic in the dark on the Fourth of July.
I think about how much I miss the beating of your heart and wonder why
Everything that I do reminds me of you.
I close my eyes and take in the view.
I wonder if you ever think of me too.
There's a scratch on my cell phone
And cracks along the screen
When we were biking and laughing
And I dropped it in the stream.
It hit a turtle and bounced off a pile of rocks. I forgot and wrote your name on the dock.
Sometimes I forget about the puzzles in the back of my closet
The ones we made in the fall.
I put one together and remember that you're 528 miles from here but you're not gonna disappear.
Everything that I do reminds me of you
All the things we did that morning in June.
The pretty pictures painted on the underside of my eyelids, the words written in sand on our imaginary island.

— The End —
