memories.

i remember when...
we first met in third grade.
we were both weird
and we became best friends.

i remember when...
you started home school
and i cried cause i missed you.
and when you came back
i ignored you.
because i was mad you left me.

i remember when...
i was sorry.
because i ignored you.
and so we made up.

i remember when...
we went sledding
and went over a big bump
and my glasses flew off and broke.
and i was going to kill
the boy that made that jump.

i remember when...
your dad fixed them for me
and we watched the
nutcracker.

i remember when...
we went to cotillion
and both looked like
princesses

i remember when...
we graduated sixth grade
and we made caps before
school at your house.

i remember when...
we started middle school
and we were both so scared
of growing up
and of new things.

i remember when...
we went our separate ways
and didn't see so much
of each other

i remember when...
i got hit by a car
and you laughed
cause you guessed it was me

i remember when...
you went to st. louis
and i didn't even know.

i remember when...
we decided to be best friends again
and how it happened
so nonchalantly in the halls.

i remember when...
we had adventures together
and we could have fun
being ourselves.

i remember when...
i got in a car accident
you were the first one at the scene
and you held my hand
until my mom could show up

i remember when...
we were at girls camp
and we made a pact
to stay friends forever.

i remember when...
i broke that pact because
i was jealous of your
new best friend.

i remember when...
you forgave me
for being so stupid.

i remember when...
you always made me brave
even when i was afraid.
and how you were
always a best friend to me
even when i was hard to deal with

i remember when...
you'll always be one of
the bestest best friends
i have ever had
and i love you.
forever.
