Do you know what I remember?

I remember looking to gorgeous blue eyes

I didn't remember what you wore

Or how you wore it

I remember just seeing my best friend

You had leaves all stuck in your hair

And you had tore my shirt

But I could see it right then

You were comfortable

I remember the boy who had blue eyes

Who I loved instantly

I remember the boy who would always protect me

the boy who I would joke with,

the long winter days

And the cool winter nights

I remember the boy who gave his love to me

On a random Wednesday summer afternoon

Because I begged

I needed it

I remember everything important

Not what you wore

Not what you got on tests

Not what colors your binders were

None of that

I remember the day you left

The day I cried

I remember the leaves flowing around

And the sun beating down on my back

I remember standing there

Wondering

If you would ever come back

I remember you loved black

When I loved blue

You loved to scream

And I loved to listen

You'd amaze me with your skill

And then act like it was nothing

I remember how you spoke Spanish

With that smooth tenor

And played trumpet

And sang

I remembered it all

On the cool black gravel

Just waiting for you to turn around

I remember
