Inside Jokes

I remember
the way your eyes
would light up
every time you 
smile.

I remember
our strange ways.
the way we
joked pointless jokes,be!
laughed for pointless reasons.

I remember our 
false innocence 
The way we ran in the rain.
When the librarian 
yelled at us
and we laughed.

I remember
how we ate mint chocolate
and got hyper,
and you took my ten dollar bill
and I lost it after 
you gave it back to me.

And now,
All that's left of that
are our inside jokes. 
And every time 
I see someone
get mint chocolate,
I think of the best day of my life.
