"That Night"

Remember that night, the one we said we’d make sure to forget…
But I guess we all forgot to.
What a way to start the New Year.
A vow to no more drugs, after tonight of course.
You said you loved me before
And I knew you meant it too.
That night the world stopped
We were in our own moment and I thought I was dizzy with love
But it was just the crystal working.
Another hard realization
Another failed dream
Another new scar on my left arm, adding to the collection of the ones you already gave me.
A light pink reminder of you.
I’ll never forget the look of your light green eyes and how your long hair gently rested around your face.
Lying, alone behind a penguin covered blanket, just you and me,
Both secretly wishing the night would never end.
But then being rudely awakened by a brand new day.
The sun, shining through the curtains showing the evidence of empty beer bottles and cigarette cartons last night had left behind.
Awkward silence and occasional smiles filling the quiet morning,
As we slowly gathered our things and said goodbye.
All knowing that night was the one we have to forget.
Never to be talked about, only to be lost in sweet memories and the light pink scars we both share.



I wrote this in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Being there was one of the best times ever.

I <3 everyone who was there.
