so i asked my closest friends they're favorite memories with me, and this is what they said...

number 1 said "i remember the fort, and the mud fight, and our first kiss"

number 2 said "i remember california, and the beach, and the way we walked down the street like we were locals"

number 3 said "i remember the first night of summer. toilet papering, talking till 5 am and getting chased by the cops."

and 4, 4 said "i remember when i was bawling in my room and you left that party to come check on me"

5 said "i remember going to new york. shopping, ice skating, concerts. man, those were the good times"

and number 6 said "i remember holding hands in the car and the way we sang like we wrote the songs"

i remember that song
and that mud fight
and california

i remember ice skating
and toilet papering
and the way we felt like locals

i remember you
warm hands
cold heart
soft lips

and you
brown hair
brown eyes
ballerina with the whole world ahead of her

and him
blonde hair
tan skin
"homework before anything" type

and you
6'4
the number of people you've kissed is higher than your gpa
"but who cares at least I'm passing" type

i remember blue eyes
and blue skies
and the way everything felt so new

i remember the first time i saw you
and the last
and i remember wanting to forget

i remember the city lights
and the clouds
and wondering how something as constant as the stars can still fall
and wishing i never did

i remember last month
and last year
and yesterday

i remember singing in the car to that song with you
and singing in the car to that song alone
and thinking how everything is different now

and how everything is good

but these moments became memories way too fast and my mind swears it was amazing

but nothing is ever as good as my nostalgic mind says it was

"Love was born, he was part of me"

and that part never left, even after he did
