it's easy to forget the sunny days in the park and the hazy drunken afternoons.
swimming in sunlight and rosy cheeks,
i want to remember.

i know you hate your name
it is what your father gave you
and you will never be him.

but that is all that runs through my mind
when i drink alone
without someone to laugh
at my jokes

i know i will suffer
but i also know you will be there

i want to ride across states with you
and watch your eyes
light up when you see the bright lights
of the city, your home
