pt 1. may do you remember that time about eight years ago when i went to your house the week before your birthday? back when we were best friends and everything was fine. before it all burned down and we watched it turn to ashes. we were in your backyard running through the grass laughing about nothing just the two of us, happy. i really miss that feeling of not caring about tomorrow only right now, this moment and who’s with you in it. we blew bubbles, played tag threw dirt at each other it’s weird how now you hate to get messy. our mommas were on the porch drinking iced tea as always watching us play together taking a break from life. i suppose those days weren’t just our escapes it was for them to live in a world that didn’t revolve around us. who can blame them? we were troublemakers always finding chaos in the most innocent things. do you remember that time when we played hide and seek and i found you, behind the shed since you couldn’t stop laughing? of course, you were a sore loser but i saw the glint in your eye you let me find you, didn’t you? i can see that now. we walked back to the house and you shoved my shoulder grinning in the sunlight and something changed. maybe it was the way that your eyes sparkled or the dimples in your smile but i felt like i couldn’t breathe. when my momma took me home do you wanna know what she said? she said, in her sweet honey voice, that boy’ll be a real heartbreaker someday. and look where we are now.
