After Years
I saw you today, I saw you in a grocery store.
Shopping on Saturday like always. Decades past
and I don't mean anything. Another
person among the living.
I saw you today, pricing things like
always. So content, I don't
know how you do it. I used to mean
something to you. Now it's different.
High school was the last time I spoke to you,
last time I was an adolescent, the last time
we were a family. High school went by fast.
Memories, laughter, tears and excitement.
In the past, but not forgotten.
I saw you today, memories of getting yelled at
and awkward conversations. Birds, bees, and
curfew. Loss of Jessica, loss of my best friend.
A gain of a new soon followed. Cherished memories, of
my relationship with my father and forgotten friendships.
I saw you today, and I remembered. Laughs and tears.
Preserved memories back in my brain
stored for those moments when I miss them.
awe i like it
ReplyDeleteit was cute
and sad...i want out of school but i dont want to lose touch with people and it to be like this :/
this is good, its really deep.especially towards the end.
ReplyDeleteSo many things and people have changed during high school. And things that have happened over the years have caused each of us to change. I cant imagine what it will be like years after we graduate. When we see each other again, the memories will come back.
