Memories

I remember your face, your laugh, sitting on a park bench and telling jokes, feeling like the whole world finally made sense. The sweat drizzled down my back and that stutter… but you didn’t mind. I dare you, I dare you to speak my name when my affection wasn’t enough for you, and that’s all I wanted, to love you, to look into your eyes and know you felt it too, to hold you like a child, so innocent, so pure. Your laughter will stay with me forever like the songs I listen to on repeat always reminding me of my guilt, my pettiness. But you my friend, I want you to have everything. You deserved better, and I just wasn’t enough for you.
