I miss something and I can't remember what it is. Or when I saw it last. Or if it remembers me.
I thought I saw my childhood the other day, but it didn't recognize me. The eye contact we made was awkward, and I don't know if we'll ever see each other again.
It was the happiest I've been in a while.
It made me want to call my brother late Sunday night and talk about the good old days. When we sat outside with our shirts off and the music on. We forgot the bad times and how the grass made our backs itch. Mom yelled out the front door that it was time to come in. But the sun was the only one who could ever control us.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but somehow a photograph is worth more. It's worth everything in your memory and everything in your pockets.
But we spent it all, Jack. We spent it all.
Please write soon.
Are we allowed to steal from you, because I just did.

ReplyDeleteHonestly, this made me tear up a little. I've felt this way for a really, really long time.
What a bittersweet and lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteAll of it. Every word loved
